Dance explores time's relationship to memory in The Weight of Then
The Weight of Then explores how we remember and interpret life's most memorable moments. Whether it's recalling the joy of childhood games, coming to terms with one's gender and sexuality, or coping with the pain of loss, Yonder explores the relationship between time and memory. The Weight of Then is more of a question than an answer. Just as they did in their previous performances Co/lapse, IRL, and Unstuck with You,Yonder is using contemporary dance as a medium to think through an idea. It's a refreshingly engaging and conceptually powerful way of connecting with their audience through movement. The Weight of Then is not for the passive observer. Rather, Yonder invites the audience to actively question not just what is happening on stage, but when it is happening. Yonder Contemporary Dance Company is composed of top students from the University of Alabama's Department of Theatre and Dance, and their work defies expectations for university-level choreography. Each concept-heavy piece is created collaboratively over the course of three months, with a focus on crafting dances that are as thought-provoking as they are entertaining. After a tour across the Southeastern United States, where the company considers audience feedback and refines the work, they travel to Edinburgh to share the work with international audiences at the Fringe. 'We're excited to be returning to the Fringe this year,' said Yonder's Artistic Director, Sarah Barry, 'The personal stories that inspired this work have created strong bonds within the company and with our audiences, and we're excited to extend that connection to a global community at the Fringe.' This is Yonder Contemporary Dance Company's fourth time bringing a show to the Fringe and their third time performing with Greenside Venues.

Plans for Harrogate Town training centre at races
Harrogate Town has announced plans to build a £2.75m football training facility at Wetherby Racecourse. The League Two club said it had been searching for a suitable site for five years, since the men's senior team was promoted to the English Football League (EFL). The proposals include a single-storey clubhouse, a grass and artificial pitch, parking and landscaping. A public consultation will take place from 17:00 BST on Thursday at Wetherby Town Hall, with supporters and interested parties invited to have their say on the plans. Harrogate Town's teams currently use training facilities across the region and the club decided a new permanent facility was needed. CEO Sarah Barry said they hoped the new training ground would also be used by the community, including local schools and sports clubs. It would be funded by Harrogate Town on land owned by the racecourse. Following the consultation event and a review of feedback, a planning application will be submitted to Leeds City Council.
