FILM SCREENING: Cuba! Africa! Revolution! part 2
At the Hobgoblin Pub,
73 White Lion Street,
Islington,
London, N1
(PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE)
SYNOPSIS: In January of 1961 independence fighter and Congo’s first Prime
Minister, Patrice Lumumba was assassinated. The Cuban revolutionary government
recognised this as part of imperialism’s drive to turn back the tide of
African independence. Shortly after, Cuba’s ‘African Odyssey’ began. The
necessary technical and military assistance socialist Cuba provided for
liberation movements Algeria, Guinea Bissau, Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, and
South Africa, made the difference between defeat and victory.
This documentary, produced for the BBC in April of 2007, has rare footage of
some of Africa’s most prominent revolutionaries and tracks Cuba’s heroic
and unselfish contribution to the fight against colonialism and racist
oppression in Africa.
Each screening is followed by an open discussion of the issues raised
FREE
Donations welcome.

Cuban Contemporary Dance with Dwayne Barnaby, Thursday 08 December 11
Feedback33 is a Professional Dancers' Mentoring Forum set up by Sheron Wray.
An opportunity to take part in various dance techniques with teachers from around the globe. It is a chance to gain insights into the passions, challenges, and experiences of various artists and teachers.
Feedback33 with Dwayne Barnaby Thurs 08 Dec June 2011 @ London Studio Centre
Venue: The London Studio Centre, 42 - 50 York Way , London N1 9AB (adjacent to Lincoln Lounge)
Cuban Contemporary Dance with Dwayne Barnaby, Thursday 08 December 2011 7pm – 9pm (registration 7pm – 7.25pm; class 7.30pm – 9pm)
Dwayne’s class is a fast paced Cuban technique class merging elements of la technica Cubana with his own unique contemporary flavour. The Cuban technique is loosely rooted in the Graham technique and through additional inclusions of undulations and spinal manipulations forces the dancer to master the shifting of weight through space. The class is highly physical with challenging exercises in the centre and travelling sequences that demand a sense of attack and musical dynamism. The class will culminate in a challenging movement sequence to end.
Cost per class
£5 Members / £8 Non-members
Concessions*
£3 Members / £5 Non-members
* Concessions are open to students and to unemployed professional dancers only. ID/proof of status is required. To check if you qualify for the unemployed professional dancer concession, please phone number below.
