After a lovely break for Christmas, the dancers have been working on so many different projects we have hardly seen them.Chris has been part of a choreographic project in Oxford, supported by David, and created a fantastic solo inspired by the sculptures in the gallery. David (supported by our intern Joy) has been doing great work with our youth group, and they are really blossoming into an exciting group.
Sophie and Anna have just got back from being in Albania and led the next stage of our work there with huge success. We are currently in discussion about performing out there again in April this year.
Lucy has been researching her ideas for our next out-door piece that she will be creating. It is going to be called “Spun Productions” and she is already talking to Jim Pinchen, our composer, about the music and the structure of the piece, which sounds incredibly exciting!
Laura has been deep in discussion with Sho about ideas for future creations and now they 'just' need to work out where to apply for funding from. We have secured funding from Youth Opportunities Fund for Hannah to lead a project with young people from PHAB and Halo with a series of workshops leading to a performance with them in the summer. Everything seems to be happening!
This week is the first week of rehearsing Trespass. It’s lovely to have the dancers around again, and you can really feel the momentum building for the launch of the next leg of the Trespass tour that starts in Lincolnshire at the South Holland Centre on 1 March 2011.
