Dance is the essence of the work and is used as an
art
in itself and the common denominator between arts. They are
currently developing ‘SpiralDance’ – a
new way of
dance created from a fusion of Eastern and Western disciplines and
inspired by nature. It explores spiral forms, and is expressive
movement that is natural, creative and accessible with clear technique
and form. The company particularly enjoy, and have experience in, site
specific work and combined arts.
"From the uplift and joy felt in
the
rhythm and flow of dance to the still confidence present in good
posture, the body becomes the vehicle through which imagination takes
form."
"You do not have to be a dancer,
but
honour the dancer in yourself"
