The Nelken Line is coming to Tramway! (13 January) A celebration of iconic choreographer Pina Bausch, the Nelken Line, which has spread across the world like a global ‘Mexican wave’ of dance, is probably the best known dance element in all of Pina’s works. Just a few distinct gestures, the sequence tells the story of the four seasons, with dancers proceeding in a long line. This event is part of Glasgow’s Nelken Line which is led by Intergenerational Dance Party and supported by The Work Room.

Work inspired in part by Charlie Chaplin’s political comedy Modern Times, Amanda Ross-Ho’s installation UNTITLED PERIOD PIECE takes the form of a factory floor dedicated to the production of oversized garments. Ross-Ho’s surreal, theatrical environment subverts notions of time, labour and economy (until 4 February, Tramway 5). Installation commissioned by Bonner Kunstverein, Germany and Vleeshall, Middleburg.

Younger audiences will be enthralled by the always popular Tramway Family Day (4 March), and for pre-school children Abhinaya Dance Academy will lead several sessions for Tramweans focussed on Indian Dance (from 22 January), followed by five movement sessions led by artist Ruth Barker (from 26 February).

There are further film screenings of work by Lawrence Lek, whose work featured in our Glasgow International group show in 2016, and from Martine Syms, whose new feature-length film is a powerful exploration of the underlying oppressive racial structures, and their origins, in the United States.
