EVERYBODY
DANCE NOW!
TAKE TO THE
FLOOR
Want to join in? We’ve asked expert dancers
from some of Urban’s dance companies in
residence to share some steps. Try them out
at home and then come to a free workshop
to perfect your groove.
‘To dance tango,’ says Bruno from Tanguito, ‘you need to put
yourself in the dance completely, forgetting the world around
you.’ He and his partner Nati lead the Argentine Tango Social
dance, which is hosted by DJ Tony Walker. ‘We can spot really
good dancers by the quality of their connection with their
partner – we talk about “one person, four legs.” Those who are
shy will definitely benefit from tango.’

‘Summer’s (almost) here and the time
is right for dancing in the street...’
Our annual celebration of culture
inspired by the city, Urban, has
returned, bringing not only hip-hop
karaoke, urban gardening and
spoken-word poetry, but also dancers
getting down in style in every corner
of Royal Festival Hall.

1.Stand in a neutral position with
your feet together
2.Step your right leg out to the side
and then step your left leg to the
right, so that you’re back in a
neutral position
3.Repeat the move to the left: step
your left leg out to the side and
step your right leg to the left
4.You can think about it as step,

5.Once you’re comfortable with the
step, add your own groove with the

‘Dancing is a sure way to a happier life’
says Uchenna Dance founder and
creative director Vicki Igbokwe. And
there’s the added bonus of learning
some hot moves for your next work do or
Friday night out.’ Vicki started Uchenna
dance to share steps from house dance,
waacking, vogue and African dance with
students and performers. Her moves
featured in the opening ceremony of
London’s 2012 Olympic Games.
Uchenna Dance is in residence on
The Clore Ballroom floor on Wednesday 30

Pineapple Community is a
community dance empire,
which has made dance
available to teachers and
communities in London and
the UK for the past 15 years.
Instructor Abiola thinks
there’s one big secret to great
dancing: ‘If I teach someone a
routine and they put their own
little spin on it, that makes it
more interesting to look at –
and also if they look like
they’re having a good time.’

Simeon Qsyea thinks people should
learn to dance because ‘it’s
something that’s been in our history
since man was made... As soon as
there’s music or a simple drum beat
or a tap or a click of the finger, there’s
something that engages us and
makes us want to move our bodies.’
The BirdGang Dance Company
founder has brought thoughtprovoking hip-hop-based moves to
the BBC, Sadlers Wells, the X Factor
and The O2.
Birdgang Dance is in residence on
The Clore Ballroom floor from
Monday 4 – Wednesday 6 April,
from 1pm – 6pm
1.Standing in a neutral position
with your feet slightly apart,
bend and straighten your knees
so that you are bouncing to the
beat
2.Make your right hand into a fist
and slowly bring it in a half circle
around and in towards your
chest (this is on the one count)
3.Extend your arm as if you’re
punching somebody (this is on
the two count)
4.Drop it to your side and repeat
with your left arm, one two
5.Once you’re comfortable, you
can walk forwards instead of
bouncing, or move your chest in
and out, as if you’re breathing,
to the one-two count
1.Stand with your feet slightly apart
and your arms at your sides
2.Raise your left leg and bend your
elbows so that your fists are at
shoulder height
3.Stomp your foot and at the same
time, send your fists down
towards the floor and nod your
head
4.Then with your feet planted on the
floor, bop your head like the
Churchill dog while rotating your
upper body 360 degrees. Move
your chest and shoulders to the
front, then to the right, to the back,
to the left and to the front again.
You’re swaying all the way round,
as if you were drunk!

LET THE LIGHT IN
Refurbishing Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell Room and Hayward Gallery
THINGS ARE
LOOKING A LITTLE
DIFFERENT
AROUND HERE
Did you know that Queen Elizabeth Hall,
Purcell Room and Hayward Gallery
are currently closed for refurbishment?
Over the next two years, some of
Southbank Centre’s events are taking
place at other venues around London, such as
St John’s Smith Square. Meanwhile, there are
opportunities to dig deeper into the history of art
and culture at Europe’s largest arts centre, and
contribute to the future of Southbank Centre.

Why are the buildings currently closed?
Since opening in the late 1960s, the buildings have seen
millions of visitors, as venues right at the heart of
cultural life in London. Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell
Room have welcomed the world’s biggest stars, such as
Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Joni Mitchell and Jacqueline
du Pré, and Hayward Gallery has hosted blockbuster
exhibitions by Matisse and Van Gogh.
Now known around the world as a conductor, a pianist
and the music director of several leading orchestras,
Daniel Barenboim performed from a young age in Royal
Festival Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall. He remembers,
‘I played innumerable concerts with the English
Chamber Orchestra in Queen Elizabeth Hall; that was
really the beginning of my international activity. The
history of performance would not have been the same
without Queen Elizabeth Hall.’
Millions of pairs of feet have passed through our 1960s
buildings on their way to classical music concerts and
gigs, dance performances and debates. But while many
wonderful memories have been created inside the
concrete, very little attention has been paid to the
buildings’ outsides. After almost 50 years of wear and
tear, it’s time to refurbish Queen Elizabeth Hall, Purcell
Room and Hayward Gallery and preserve their unique
architecture for future generations, with the Let the
Light In campaign.
Daniel Barenboim
rehearsing for his first
London show here aged
13, in 1956
What’s going on inside the closed buildings?
The first phase of building works has now begun.
Hayward Gallery’s false ceiling is being removed to let
natural light into the building for the first time.
Structural works have begun in Queen Elizabeth Hall to
create a light and welcoming foyer, and heritage items
are being relocated from the Plant Room to the Archive.
Work has started to restore the roof lights in
Queen Elizabeth Hall foyer.

Southbank Centre Archive Studio has been supported by a grant from
the Heritage Lottery Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we are
now able to bring to life and make visible the processes of a working
archive, uncovering Southbank Centre’s story.
THINKING
INSIDE THE BOX
The 3000 boxes in the Southbank Centre archive contain an
extraordinary history of performers, audiences and events on
the world stage. There are mementos from David Bowie and
Daniel Barenboim, fifty years of posters – in styles ranging from
1950s elegance to psychedelia and punk – and even a pair of
shoes discarded by a Soviet ballerina before she defected to
the West.
Since September 2015, archivists and volunteers have been
exploring and sorting the archive for the very first time, in our
specially constructed archive studio on Level 2 of Royal Festival
Hall. Come and have a look or drop in for a workshop and help us
bring new treasures from Southbank Centre’s history to light.

A team of
treasure-seekers
Shh, don’t tell everybody, but to
become an archive volunteer,
you need just one important
qualification: a love of art and
culture or an interest in the
history of Southbank Centre.
Peter Avis started volunteering
at the archive in 2006, while
Marina Georgiou became an
archive volunteer in 2015.
Several volunteers work in the
archive on a regular basis, and
Marina admits that as they sort
through boxes, ‘we end up
talking a lot about the
interesting things we discover.’
For Peter, the visitors’ books
have been especially intriguing,
‘In some cases it has been quite
difficult (but often great fun) to
try to decipher the signatures of
conductors, pianists, singers
and the like, not to mention the
VIPs (ambassadors and
politicians, for example) who
had been guests in the
Ceremonial Box.’
occasionally hunting for specific
items. Peter explains, ‘The most
exciting items we found – and it
took a long time to find them –
were the batons belonging to
internationally famous
conductors that used to be on
public display before the
refurbishment.’ Marina
remembers a filing cabinet filled
with records of individual
concerts, donated by its owner
to the archive. It made her
realise ‘that events at the centre
are important enough for people
to archive their own memories of
them.’
The Archive is looking for new
Archive Collections and
Engagement volunteers to join
one of the rounds of eight weekly
sessions, runnig until the en dof
2017. Find out more about
becoming a volunteer by
emailing: volunteer@
The volunteers come in once a
week to categorise and store the
items in the archive,

Before coming to Southbank

Southbank Centre he will be
helping to catalogue the sites
archives and assist in making
them more accessible.

at a Youth Subculture archive
in his dream city, Berlin.
• His favourite item in the

medieval Latin and
palaeography (reading old
handwriting)
• The strangest item she has
ever come across in an
archive was a leaky jar of
Victorian ox tongue.
• She always wanted to be an
archaeologist but then went
on a dig and decided she
preferred organising and
labelling the finds...
