Yet another productive and creative day in the studio!

This morning, company class was taught by Laura, whose fearless floor work was a great early morning challenge!

Creative work started with a beautiful group improvisation exploring relationships in the space. Extended improvisation sessions show the true creative skill of the DFDcollective team. Each and every person brings their own flare and ideas whilst also working seamlessly as a group (give or take the occasional fumble during contact work!)

Today also allowed for the dancers to teach work to each other as well as learn a phrase I created. Whilst teaching my movement phrase today I realised how far we had come as a team. The dancers are now familiar with my movement style and I am able to understand how to best to communicate more tricky movement. The personal investment from each member of the company is clear in moments like these and it is a reflection of how much we have grown together over the past year.

I am so excited by the variety of movement material that has been produced over the last two days. Collaborating with the dancers has uncovered movement that has a completely new aesthetic! There is certainly lots to be getting our teeth into on the final day tomorrow!!
