The Continent Stories Dance Company

Read more ...

The Continent Stories Dance Theatre is a company started by Silja Grey, it invites other artists to collaborate with movement and to investigate the possibilities to expand the concept of dance. You could say the company allows the concept of dance to be re-discovered. Dance is not just about movement itself, it goes beyond the movement. There are no limits in ‘what is dance.’ Dance can contain elements of interdisciplinary practices, it can be a collaboration between sound, visual arts and movement. Silja's aim for the company is to be able to look beyond any borders, to stretch my mind across all the disciplines and to find something new.

Eade and Perkins Present…

Read more ...

Eade & Perkins Present… has recently been formed by Bryony Perkins and Rohanna Eade. With an interest in the crossover between dance and other art forms, we are developing a practice which uses improvisation to challenge and explore what we know (being dance) and what we are less familiar with (being text).  Improvisation can be what we perform, or it can be a tool for devising material which is eventually set. Underlying the work is a desire to communicate directly with the audience; to see them as equal, to entertain them and to do this through a variety of mediums.

Armadillo Dance Project

Read more ...  Armadillo Dance Project is an ongoing collaboration between choreographer Kathleya Afanador and composer Allen Fogelsanger. They use interactive technology as a creative and collaborative tool for making performances in which movement interacts with other media via computer analysis of dancer-produced data. The aim in using this tool is not to spotlight the technology but rather to create interesting and unusual relationships between sound and movement. These relationships exist within expanded fields--the sounds are often not music and the movements often not dance as traditionally conceived. The resulting audio-visual performance may offer experiences ranging from the cerebral to the sensual, combining into a challenging puzzle of formal structures and playful juxtapositions.
