Rory and Colin

Well if you roll back time 15yrs or so, was the last time Rory and I worked together in St Peter's hall, a joy to be working together again thanks to providence and The BBC funding for part of the Doorways project, we got excited and could spring board many more projects just off one idea and chat....
We could have invited in many talented local dancers/ choreographers, but decided to invite Rory who has worked with us before and knows how we work, which speeds up the whole process.
He has multi art skills as well which help with the way we develop work.
I had hoped to photograph Rory with the company, but today was a day of delays, and we staggered in at various times and for various reasons, but good work was done,  a new duet with Colin and Zoe and costume coming together slowly. Toby brought in a fabulous tunic and hat he made.
Sam managed to find her way here, so she begins her 4 week trial with the main company and we are happy to have her with us. Sam comes to Friends and Dancing and has attended Penryn Improvisation and Performance group
We have a date to visit Gyllngdune Gardens in January, so all progressing nicely, and Rory now definitely working with us on Doorways...hurray!

St Peter's Hall
I have worked here for many years and am very fond of this hall, so put the photo on for nostalgic reasons!
