Dance Live in Aberdeen has been sending me their monthly mailing, and that city is full of dance. Rather like Stirling in March... partially because it gives me an excuse to use the lovely image for Janis Claxton's Chaos and Contingency, here's a shout out to Aberdeen's programme.
Chaos & Contingency arrives at the Aberdeen Art Gallery on 16 March - it's free, it's designed to be seen from all sides and it uses mathematics to explore the evolution from simple to complex. There's a soundtrack from Philip Pinsky and has an international cast, including a trio of China's top dance stars.
Elementz Goes Live (Saturday 23rd March) is in the more traditional space of the Lemon Tree Studio, but has two new pieces one by Alison Macbeth (artistic director of Elementz ) and one by guest choreographer Lisa Bibby-Grant (Scottish School of Contemporary Dance) and guests from around Scotland.
The Moment has to Arrive stars students from Grays School of Art (Sunday 24th March, From 3pm) and is a day of live art and performance by artists and students from Gray’s School of Art at Citymoves Studio, Belmont Street. Curated by Conor Baird in collaboration with Citymoves Dance Agency.
Just As We Are (bgroup) promises themes of an adult nature. The press release says: a" brand new show by choreographer Ben Wright. A tryptych moving from the singular experience to the power of a group – Just As We Are begins at walking pace and culminates in an invitation for audiences to consider joining the spectacular finale.
Collaborating with his exceptional team of performers, lighting designer Guy Hoare, visual artist and photographer Mark Vessey and costume designer Theo Clinkard, Just As We Are is a tribute to an act of uncertainty…. how will you share the moment?
Ben Wright's extensive choreographic work ranges from The Metropolitan Opera New York to the Showroom in Chichester - his passion for creating extraordinary experiences and curious yet accessible work is the driving force behind bgroup’s growing popularity and success."

The Lemon Tree
And the bonus art...
FROM NOW UNTIL 14TH APRIL 2013
It's unlikely that I'll make it, but I rather like the idea of having a quick holiday to the historic Victorian seaside town of Llandudno and taking in an exhibition of contemporary art, which allows me to vote for my favourite.
The Mostyn Open has 26 artists exhibiting, including Stuart Middleton from Cheshire. And unlike most exhibitions, this one has a special prize for the most popular piece.
MOSTYN is Wales’ leading public contemporary art gallery and is part of the Plus TATE network of galleries.
MOSTYN Open 18 Exhibition
MOSTYN, 12 Vaughan Street, Llandudno, Conwy, LL30 1AB
