Pangaea from the Greek meaning "entire"; the supercontinent. 

Our goal is to develop an international touring company that employs dancers from different backgrounds; working together without racial, sexual, religious or social boundaries. The aim is to one day audition and employ dancers from various countries. Pangaea Dance is a mix of Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Modern, Latin, Ballroom, Flamenco and Street. Our company also uses elements of Musical Theatre, Martial Arts, Chinese Folk and other National dances developing a new dance form; Pangaea or "Entire" Dance. 

Piece By Piece Company was founded in 2006 by theatre artist Berit Kuennecke and dancer/choreographer Despina Mavrou. The company attempts to deal with current issues affecting women in society, through dance, theatre and multimedia.

Our first project, Do You Sell Yourself At Work? (2007) performed at Brighton Festival Fringe 2007, looked at working life and raunch culture and explored situations experienced daily by millions of working women worldwide. Serious questions were raised whilst retaining a lighthearted, occasionally comic tempo.

With How Far Are You Willing To Go?, the now-expanded company dealt with more universal issues affecting women, still keeping the light, humorous tone which is bound to become the company’s trademark.

Henry Fry is a designer, writer and illustrator who studies Design For Performance at Wimbledon College of Art and graduates this summer. He likes to set up strong visual frameworks in performance and film. Riccardo Buscarini is a contemporary dancer and choreographer who graduates from The London Contemporary Dance School this summer also. He often works with one striking image that conveys layers of interpretation.

Lîla Dance finds its inspiration for creativity in exploring the synergies between highly physical exertions with sensitivity of thought. The company members regard themselves as “movement inventors” who treat every new work as an exciting opportunity to discover original movement which finds expression through articulate physicality. During each creative process Lîla Dance immerse themselves in images and ideas which are explored with intuition and spontaneity in order to find “physical sensations” expressive of a gut response from the flesh and nerve.

With each new work the company continues to develop a distinctive physical language of which complicated floor sequences, trademark physicality and intricate contact work can be identified as choreographic traits.

Moxie Brawl was formed in 2006 by Sarah Blanc and Katie and Fin Miller at The Space in Dundee. The company created 4 pieces in their first year in Scotland most namely 'I've Never Seen a Cat Live 9 Lives' by Sarah Blanc and 'Saltwater' by Katie Miller which were both supported by Dance Base in Edinburgh along with The Space. In 2007 Angus Balbernie created a quartet on the company which was performed at The Space.

Van Huynh Company was founded in 2008 to further the exploration of the human body and its relationship through time and space. Inspired by everyday life and people, Dam’s choreographies are grounded in reality and dig further to access a deeper layer of conscience. The Company selects movements and attitudes to process this information by expanding and exaggerating the observed gestures. The result is a physical dance creating a sense of surrealism, where the capacities of the human body are explored to its extremes and infinite details become prominent.

 

Ji Park’s choreography is based on abstract movement. The basis of her work is spontaneous and instinctive, which is influenced by her South Korean origin and it is particularly difficult to dancers trained in the western contemporary dance tradition. Her vocabulary is very fast-paced and based upon the combination of very short and sharp sequential phrases.

She has previously performed her work at Cloud Dance Festival with Transient Dance Theatre.

After studying music in Glasgow, Raymond furthered his training in dance and theatre at Bird College in London.  Since graduating he has had his work performed at venues ranging from Cloud Dance Festival to Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, and most recently at The Place as part of Resolution! 09.  He also works freelance as a teacher and performer in London.
