Diversity Connected 2022 Tour

Creator, director and choreographer Ashley Banjo, musical compositions Fraser Bennett Diversity London Palladium 7 – 10 April 2022

Diversity is back with more than a bang. They are excited, their audiences are excited, the atmosphere is electric: Ashley Banjo has them in the palm of his hand. It is his show: he is the creator, and the inspiration. A tour of 34 venues across the UK and Ireland, which began March 17 and continues till June 19, stops off at the London Palladium just for a few days—they have the world to conquer. 79 shows in total, the mind boggles at their stamina.

I was expecting a dance show, a hip hop show, but what I see is a variety show, family entertainment—the audience is made up of three generations, even toddlers are allowed out late. And does Banjo know how to connect with them—this could be his living room.

Connect is the theme, in every sense, electronic, advanced technology, a huge cinema screen projecting adverts, promotion for the company, rehearsals with children, family photos, a Zoom call with his mum to show off his new baby, and more. Warm hearted, dynamic, loud and proud. Technology that connects us, and that got us through the lockdowns, and technology that can undermine us if we are not careful. YouTube, viruses, memes, trolls, satnav, shopping on tap, ANI the digital assistant, the cloud, and more... Listen to the original ring tone… remember that…

Technology that has us looking at the universe and the metaverse… think on that. Banjo speaks and explains his concept—is he doing a ‘Brian Cox’… it’s a subject that obviously excites him, the evolution of smart technology, the statistics of it. Virtual reality is integrated into dance. He makes a very confident lecturer, knows how to sugar the information with sci-fi, pyrotechnics and SFX. Banjo is a magician conjuring up more new tricks.

Get those phones out and shine the light, and nearly everyone does. There are joyous shouts, audience participation as Banjo shows us how the sound mix is created (available to buy with the merchandise at the end). And a ‘Jimi Hendrix’ guitarist by the name of Mafro who plays like a demon possessed on top of the big computer box props with the fires of the sun behind him.

The cinema surround sound is deafening, the supportive cheers add to the volume, the huge screen behind the dancers dwarfs the fifteen (four female) performers on the stage below. The light show blinds and dazzles to the point where one can barely see the performers.

And it's the performers I want to see. They are as sharp as their leader’s razor hairline. Great technique, acrobatics, athleticism, musicality, but above all the slick routines, honed to the nth degree. There’s a cables cat’s cradle number, dancing in the rain and an incongruous Charlie Chaplin take off for three of them. There’s a solo dance with drones, which is exciting, and a comic dance in children’s dressing up outfits.

From the advanced to the ridiculous, they are comfortable with sending themselves up, true entertainers, safe in their skill sets. A mixed bag of invention, I imagine Banjo’s brain pinging like a pinball machine during creation. I remember when they started, and the young Perri Kiely with his big Afro hair was outstanding then—the Afro is gone and hasn't he grown—time passing—but he’s still on winning form, especially on that Hoverboard Segway machine.

And for those who don’t know the trajectory of Diversity’s growing success, there’s a recap on screen of the past years down to the BAFTA. An amazing success story: from dancers to award winners to TV stars, both Banjo brothers, Ashley and Jordan, hosts and judges of talent shows. And yes, there’s brotherly banter.

“We are Diversity,” Ashley reminds us, a talented promoter. He plays and charms us very well. And uses his platform to profile George Floyd and Black Lives Matter. There’s a powerful riot police number, and talk of climate change, ecology and pollution—Banjo ranges far and wide.

Jonzi D is in the audience as is Andry Oporia of ZooNation. I wonder what they make of it... I am exhausted. I’d have been happy to see the dancers without all that distracting showbiz pizzazz and commercialism. But the captive hyped-up audience apparently begs to differ. The show is critic-proofed.

Dance troupe Diversity have announced presale tickets for their upcoming Supernova tour that will stop in 44 towns and cities across the UK.

Founded by dancer and presenter Ashley Banjo , the group rose to fame during their stint on Britain’s Got Talent and, more than a decade on, they’re still going strong.

Giving fans across the country something to look forward to, they released a video teasing the extravaganza that’s set to be one of their biggest tours yet.

Calling it The Supernova Tour, presale tickets will go on sale this Friday, November 18 at 10am for locations including Eastbourne, Northampton, Nottingham, Portsmouth and Cornwall.

Posting an explosive reel hinting at what audiences can expect from the event, the announcement said: ‘We’re so excited to announce we will be touring with a brand new show!

‘THE SUPERNOVA TOUR! We can’t wait to create something special for you all!

‘Tickets go on general sale 10am Friday 18th November and presale starts this Thursday at 10am. Hit the link in our bio for more info [sic]’.

Fans were quick to virtually share their delight and excitement following the news as congratulatory comments poured in.

One wrote: ‘Can I afford it?! Nope but will I be there Yes yes I will!!! [sic]’

‘Yesssss can’t wait to see you again!! [sic]’, was another’s response.

Members of the group took time out to share their own joy at heading back out on the road with Perri Kiely posting: ‘HERE WE GO AGAIN!! [sic]’ and wife of Ashley, Francesca confirming: ‘It’s happening’.

Beginning next October, the tour schedule will continue on into 2024 where it will finish its run in April 2024 at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

This new showcase follows in the wake of the troop’s current sold-out Connected tour that combined comedic routines with routines that made statements on human connectivity.

Never ones to shy away from promoting activism through dance, the group made their mark after winning a Bafta for their take on The Black Lives Matter movement during a performance on Britain’s Got Talent .

Latest show from Ashley Banjo’s Diversity is big and brash, with endearing heart and soul

It is 15 years since Diversity won Britain’s Got Talent and the hip-hop dance crew, created by Ashley Banjo, his younger brother Jordan and their friends, has gone from strength to strength. Ashley, now 35, is a household name and an MBE; Jordan and Perri Kiely host the Kiss FM breakfast show. And the group’s politically charged 2020 routine on BGT generated national headlines (and no little controversy) when it tackled police brutality head-on.

Diversity’s new touring show will have been performed more than 90 times in 40 towns by the time it finishes in Eastbourne. The crew members are greeted with whoops and cheers from the off, as they slam into their signature synchronised, highly athletic, perfectly drilled street-dance routines to a thundering soundtrack. It can be thrilling, with Ashley Banjo front and centre, a charismatic stage presence moving with an insouciant liquid grace, as the other dancers hurtle round him, showing off superlative b-boy skills and acrobatic flair over a well-employed two-tier stage.

Related to this Review

The show is built around a story: a troubled music star unravels, crashes his car and ends up in hospital in a coma, his mind wrangling with the demons of his past. It is a smart device that allows Banjo to unleash his imagination on routines ranging from a slapstick black-and-white film-style segment, to a sugar-rush nostalgia number involving cast members dressed as Powerpuff Girls, Power Rangers, Pokémon and The Mask. The character’s memories of wooing his childhood sweetheart and the traumatic event that he has never processed are delivered via short films. There are horror movie-style sequences as he confronts his nightmares, and a routine about struggling with ADHD.

Aiming to hit all the big emotional buttons, Banjo gives us everything from flaming torches and MJ-style leans to dancing in the rain, while the music switches up the crowd-pleasers from Sigma, Tears for Fears, J Lo, Outkast and Usher with the Eminem-style angst-rap of NF for the climax. The American guest dancer Najah Brown adds strong contemporary ballet moves as the love interest, while the extraordinary Sergio “Checho” Carvajal, of the disability breaking crew ILL-Abilities, demonstrates super-human arm balancing. The spoken-word artist Dujon “Scoop” Thompson delivers earnest monologues that need to be better miked. And somehow, wedged in among all this, Banjo manages to have a sci-fi geek-out about supernovas and space travel.

Yet it all hangs together. More than that, for all the obvious flashiness and billboard-sized messaging, it is delivered with real heart and abundant sincerity. Diversity is not new to this game, but none of the crew can resist revelling in the sheer delight of being on stage at a sold-out Palladium – they excitedly ricochet round the stage at the curtain call taking selfies.

Innovative dance group Diversity have confirmed details of a brand new tour.

The Connected tour kicks off at the Waterside Theatre, Aylesbury on Friday 19 March 2021, running across the UK throughout April and May.

The new tour centres around the world of social media, the internet, and the digital era we live in, and how it connects us all.

Creator and choreographer Ashley Banjo comments: “Every year that goes by, and every time we get to create a new touring show, I cannot believe we are still lucky enough to get to do this. But even after all this time, we are still growing, and this new decade and new chapter for Diversity is sure to be something even more special than the last. I truly do believe that we are all connected in more ways than one and I cannot wait to bring this to life on stage.”

Formed in East London in 2007 by lead dancer and choreographer Banjo, Diversity came to widespread public attention when they auditioned for the ITV talent show Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. Their first audition was a huge success, and the group were given three yesses from judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan. After progressing through the semi-final, the group won the final of Britain’s Got Talent , beating off stiff competition from Susan Boyle in front of a TV audience of over 17million viewers.

Since winning Britain’s Got Talent , Diversity’s career has gone stratospheric. They’ve danced for royalty at the Royal Variety Performance, for the prime minister outside 10 Downing Street, took part in the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in 2014 and performed to over 6000,000 fans.

A force to be reckoned with live, the dance group have completed nine sell-out UK tours so far. Their latest tour, Born Ready – The 10 Year Anniversary Tour, saw Diversity celebrate their ten years in existence, captivating fans all throughout the UK and receiving rave reviews.

Diversity: Supernova review – blazing BGT champs go all out

Royal & Derngate, Northampton The superstar troupe from Britain’s Got Talent consistently fill venues across the country – and you can see why

I t’s 15 years since street dance crew Diversity beat Susan Boyle to the Britain’s Got Talent crown, and the gang is still going strong. Ashley Banjo is now a prime-time telly face, a judge on Dancing on Ice, and he still leads from the front as choreographer, director and star, greeted by whoops and screams from the crowd. About half the 14-strong group are original members – teenage boys then, now men in their 30s. They are joined by more recent recruits, the youngest being the talented 18-year-old Isaac Akinyemi, and some fierce women too.

This is the start of 60 dates this year, in 27 towns. Never mind the latest chin-scratching developments in contemporary dance, this is the dance that people of all ages buy tickets for, all over the country, looking for a good night out.

The formula in many ways hasn’t changed, Banjo’s signature is punchy unison routines, tight as a military parade, crammed with percussive rhythms and sharp stops, with power moves and acrobatics thrown in (if in doubt, do a backflip). When they go all out, the energy is massive, it’s a rush.

But you can’t keep that up for two hours, and Supernova departs from previous Diversity shows in that it tells a story: troubled pop star crashes his car and ends up in a coma, a handy device with which to set up a whole variety show of numbers inside our hero’s mind, from heartfelt to hallucinatory: a toy box complete with tumbling Power Rangers, a slapstick number, a school classroom, a love story, a redemption. Plus, a cameo from disabled B-Boy Sergio “Checho” Carvajal and narration by Dujon “Scoop” Thomson.

Banjo is really in the business of emotional manipulation, and he uses every device going – video game-style visuals, rain falling from the sky, and music especially, whether for drama, uplift or nostalgia, pushing all the buttons. It’s mostly surface-level stuff, pretty cheesy, but why have I got a lump in my throat, dammit?

Ultimately this a parable about living a good life, holding on to people you love, vanquishing your demons. And they are so darn sincere, as Banjo chats about love, peace and hope. Diversity are very successful at what they do: pure entertainment, with heart.

At Royal & Derngate, Northampton , until 31 January; then touring until 13 April
