FEEBACK33 TEACHERS' BIOGRAPHY- PARADIGMZ
Paradigmz is a Performance Artist of the truest kind... He is a dancer, actor, rapper, writer, poet, and choreographer. As a dancer he has performed nationally and internationally for Sakoba Dance Theatre, Jonzi D, Kompany Malakhi, Garth Fagan Dance (USA), and others. As an actor Paradigmz has performed in Isaac Juliens 'Paradise Omeros', toured 'Slamdunk', and acted in a variety of other short length shows. Paradigmz has now set up and runs his own dance theatre company called LDDT (London Diaspora Dance Theatre) that draws inspiration from the vast artistic experience of the London Diaspora married with modern dance and theatre aesthetics. Paradigmz aspires to raise the profile of his dance theatre company as well as train his dancers in the technical requirements that they need to successfully execute any choreography that will be explored. Paradigmz hopes to develop an infrastructure for inspired dancers who are given a platform to perform and choreograph dance work, drawing upon aesthetics and themes relevant to them as individuals and the London community from which they are a part of.
RESPITE by Bode Lawal’s Sakoba Dance Theatre – the UK’s first Post-Traditional dance company – is the result of LAWAL casting out a social net and capturing observations that combine to create a voyage of explosive movement and dance. RESPITE is a dramatic reflection of society’s hopes and fears, as people struggle to survive in the 21st Century’s ever-changing world. The piece is full of contrasting, lyrical and seemingly chaotic gestures - challenging the ‘status quo’ and urging society to stop, step back and take a look at the bigger picture!
