PERFORMANCE .................................... Fagin’s Twist Was Dickens’ arch villain misunderstood? I wanted to do an adaptation and we settled on Oliver Twist but I wasn’t satisfied with the story. It was too simple for me, too much of a Disney ending, with the rich uncle who comes and saves him. I felt that in this day and age there was a different story to be told. I started to look more at Fagin instead of Oliver and that was it – explosions in my mind. I wasn’t sure how I was supposed to feel about the character. He’s a villain but when you look at the text he does show a caring side, elements of camaraderie with the kids. I thought, what happened to him before he became the man we meet in the novel? What was his upbringing? Was he really as bad as we think? I suppose I saw a few similarities with myself in some ways! I run a company and have a multitude of young adults that I am responsible for, and it can get tiring and frustrating. Maybe that sounds like a leap but I don’t think I could have called my company Avant Garde Dance if we were just about regurgitated ideas. I always want to be pushing boundaries, to be innovative. If I’m not challenged by it, if it’s not new for me, it doesn’t feel right to me. I kind of brought myself up in terms of my career. I didn’t have a mentor. I made mistakes. I learned a lot. Artistically I don’t have any inhibitions and that’s allowed me to think - I want to make a dance film, I want to make a show that’s outdoors, I want to do an adaptation, a weird, contemporary show. I make shows in clubs, WW2 bunkers… anywhere I can. I really wanted to create a company that stood for something and I’ve persevered with that. I’ve been running Avant Garde Dance for 15 years now. I want to give young people opportunities to dance and be creative. In Fagin’s Twist we’re inviting young dancers to take part in each of the places we’re touring. I don’t like ‘curtain raisers’ - you know when you have a group of young people at the beginning of the show and they do their thing and everyone claps then the ‘real show’ begins? We’re all dancers. So I’ve created three moments in the show that are based around local participants learning the choreography beforehand then being on stage with the professionals. It’s important. I remember theatre and dance companies coming into my school. It created a strong memory at an early age and probably inspired me to do what I do. I guess the thing that drives me is that I get bored easily. I like to be creative. I always have an idea on the go, whether it’s for film, music, dance or fashion. There’s always something bubbling… As told to Nione Meakin by Tony Adigun Attenborough Centre, 14th - 16th December Photo by Rachel Cherry ....51....
