I have spent two weeks of intensive research and development with Richard Court, Mamoru Iriguchi and Sophia Clist, in London and at DanceEast in Ipswich, culminating in this performance that the audience seemed to enjoy!

I have been creating a new work with the third year students on the
BA(Hons) Dance in the Community course at University Campus Suffolk.
Entitled Scanning, this group piece is a collaboration with
Spanish fine artist Juan-Jose Guerra-Valiente. During the 10 miuntes
long performance Juan traces the dancers' faces and gestures. At points
he only uses tactile information through his hands Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09305659472180699131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804358493223237210.post-18809173583733038352014-03-08T01:19:00.003-08:002014-05-13T10:27:30.863-07:00Choose your own documentary
Choose your own documentary is a low-tech one man show somewhere between stand up and TV documentary, directed and performed by Nathan Penlington and created with a team of documentary film-makers including Fernando Gutierrez De Jesus, Nick Watson and Sam Smaïl.

Here is a presentation of some inspiring work by digital media artists Paul Kaiser, Marc Downie and Shelley Eshkar, who formed the Open Ended Group. Paul Kaiser talks about how he in his former role as a teacher observed children drawing, their focus and gestures,

A couple of interesting events took place for my company this month. As part of Big Dance Festival we performed an extract of TRAFFIC at the Yogahome on 19th May. This was a very intimate and rewarding performance experience, being able to show the piece to an audience that consisted mainly of families. About half of the audience were children, and they seemed to enjoy the piece.
