To celebrate the Opening weekend of the 2012 London Olympics, imove’s Don’t Just Sit There project performed at Headingley Carnegie Cricket ground on Friday 23rd July 2010 during the tea break of the Australia v Pakistan Test Match.
The performance consisted of eleven Lishi practitioners of traditional Chinese movement dressed in full cricket attire positioned on the Headingley pitch as fielders surrounding two batsmen and two professional dancers from Phoenix Dance Theatre, one representing the bowler, one the ball.
The piece amalgamated art, culture and sport, engaging the crowd’s imagination with the links between cricket, dance and traditional Chinese movement. As the Olympic torch was passed from Beijing to London, Yorkshire got involved and this thought provoking piece aimed to inspire and excite.
The piece was a springboard for further development with schools, youth cricket teams and dance groups across Yorkshire as part of the Don’t Just Sit There 3 year project.
The partnership between iMove and the Yorkshire Cricket Foundation is set to expand in 2011 to include a dance session for the Yorkshire 1st X1 during their pre-season training.
