Raymond Tait Dance

Raymond Tait Dance 

After completing a BA in Applied Music at the University of Strathclyde, I went on to gain a first class Honours Degree in Dance and Theatre performance from Bird College.  Having specialized in choreography for my dissertation year, this has been a route I have been pursuing on and off since graduating last year. 

 

Whilst working as a performer with the small theatre company animate:SPACE upon graduation, I was also applying for many choreographic and contemporary dance festivals.  After becoming runner-up for a bursary awarded to emerging choreographers by Sadlers Wells and East London Dance around Christmas, I was then put in touch with Enigma Dance Festival in Guildford, for which I created a piece for in March of this year.

Read more ...  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 will deal with more universal issues affecting women, still keeping the light, humorous tone which is bound to become the company’s trademark.

An ensemble company, that works through ideas, physicalities and whims via improvisational structures and individual experience. The Ticket’s work is informed by ‘dance theatre’…by exposing humour in art; in existing and past art forms …by enjoying the body as flawed; the body as gendered… by social dance… by the importance of presentation, performance, audience… by theatricalities: the stage, the audience, the framing of performance, the bow, the before and after, the ‘offstage’… by enjoying all dance forms as valid. Lead and developed by Lexi Bradburn.

 

The Ticket Theatre Dance premiered its first full scale piece ‘Cosi fan Tutu’ last year at Siobhan Davies Studios: a little look at Opera through dance and cliché.
