short films at "GLIMPSE" integrative dance event

Recently i missed a lovely opportunity, and an email reply i wrote went into draft and wasn't sent! oops, i came across it later by chance and so it arrived too late.

So today: 

ROC Creative presents ‘GLIMPSE’, an integrative dance event hosted by SculptMotion Dance Company, on Saturday 1 November 2014 at the Palace Theatre, Paignton, Devon TQ3 3HF 

http://danceindevon.org.uk/event/glimpse/

I had been invited to lead a 2 hr workshop, sadly as i replied late they found others, but i am flattered as Anjali Dance Company  http://www.anjali.co.uk/ are running it now. I have heard about them for a long time, (but being in Cornwall) have never seen or met them.

We looked into taking some work in progress to show but all was too late and there was no supporting funding available anywhere to enable that to happen quickly. We hope to meet and share with them at some other opportunity.

The reason for blogging this is to share that, although we may not be there some of our films will be!

  

"We are hoping to show three clips tomorrow; Doorways, The Crows and Red."

Suzanna Oxenham  

The films were made by Barbara Santi,  Red and Crows involved editing input from some of the dancers.

It is so good to know there are integrative dance events happening, and we hope they have a great day.

Photos from Friday! Newlyn pop up and Wardrobe ideas

 Pop Up at Newlyn Art Gallery, thank you to Simon Jacques and Annie Metcalfe, we had a good time and Trevor was on form!

Colin and Finn, Finn's third week and he was going to watch but then was inspired by rhythm!

These are just taken on the ipad and in true non photographer mode many of the best parts i was enjoying so much i forgot to photograph!

 Came away very over excited at the thought of doing a lot of these in a variety of venues, I was then frequently reminded to wait till Spring and warm weather! But i am inspired by them, the amazing freedom and creativity they give the performers and the relationship between music and dance/theatre.
 Thank you so much to George whose instinctive music and creativity make this possible and it was the first day of his new work mode!

I then struggled with how these fit into our work and realised we have 3 strands at present:
Commissions - thank you to all who invite us to work with them

Brief - projects, an extended Doorways is still percolating in the background waiting to emerg

 Freedom - spontaneous work

So onto the afternoon:
between Wardrobe workshops we digest what we have learnt and this time i asked everyone to think of colours, designs they would like and a wealth of great ideas came forth, some below!

I am awaiting Anna and Annis to create a Wardrobe blog where we can record and share the project, but they are immersed in GCSE's this term and we don't have internet at rehearsals but hopefully we can soon share that with you.

Birthdays

My printer broken at present so just blogging Kerry and Glen's birthday cards.
The style of card is from a Shallal tradition, before we could access images as easily, so that performers had a record of some of their work in the past year.
Cards usually come with cake - which we can't share so easily, but you can share some if you get to  St Peter's Hall today 12.15 - 1pm,
 after our Always New excursion pop up at Newlyn Art Gallery today approx 11am..this should keep us on our toes!
in at the deep end! so far this term we have been researching and less dancing, so it will be fun!
