Founded in 2007, Bold Tendencies is an annual sculpture project showcasing new international art that has become a South London institution and an essential summer fixture. Held on the top four floors of a disused multi-storey car park in Peckham, with spectacular views across the city, Bold Tendencies brings contemporary art to a part of London, and to its communities, typically neglected by the art world.
The Place presents a one-off evening of some of the most provocative bite-sized dance works from the last twelve months, specially re-imagined for Bold Tendencies 5.
The bill includes Lost Dog’s Place Prize winning duet It Needs Horses, a duet about the nature of live entertainment and features a memorably down at heel ringmaster, his glamorously bedraggled assistant and their increasingly extreme measures to draw the crowds. Darren Ellis performs his latest polyrhythmic solo After Effects, which brings man and drum-kit to life with light and sound. Protein’s critically acclaimed LOL (lots of love) is a timely and very funny take on the effect that online social networking has had on human relationships. Freddie Opoku-Addaie and Frauke Requardt reprise their sweetly combative Place Prize duet Fidelity Project plus there’s a short extract from Avant Garde Youth Company.
