This Monday we officially began working in our new home at Deptford Green School. It is great to know that we have somewhere to work every week that may also open up new opportunities for DFDC. It also gives me the fun experience of establishing and running my own Youth Company as an offshoot of the professional company.

This week I held a taster day for young people interested in joining the Youth Company. A lively and enthusiastic group of students came along to participate and proved they were up for a challenge! Next week is audition week, where the Youth Company members will be selected! It looks set to be an exciting adventure…

It was wonderful to have the entire company back in the studio on Monday night also.  We began the mind boggling process of re-capping material created during the Research and Development period in August. As the R&D was so successful and the material produced so rich, re-visiting it is prooving to be a detailed task. However, I can already see the movement taking on new life and beginning to develop organically. I can’t wait to see how the work will take shape!

So September is turning out to be a month with lots of new starts for Daisy Farris Dance Collective! Lets see where it takes us…
