“Dance is an expression of life: from the uplift and joy felt in the rhythm and flow of dance to the still confidence present in good posture, the body is the vehicle through which we experience life, imagination can take form and creativity can express itself” (BW)
SpiralArts is a dance/movement based cross-art and intergenerational community of artists, committed to creative exploration, often focusing on aspects of nature as their source material.
SpiralArts has a long history and diverse background in dance theatre and allied arts. Dance/movement is the essence of their work and is explored as an art in itself and as a common denominator between art forms. Their approach to movement is a fusion of Western and Eastern disciplines with a focus on the spiral inherent in most forms of movement. They look to the natural world as the main source and common foundation for their creative explorations, often working outside in various natural environments.
They aim to create a safe and supportive space, a creative crucible, where artists of various disciplines and ages can come together to explore, play and share their skills and talents. Each person involved has a unique part to play within the whole experience. Their individual talents are honoured and given space to grow, with guidance where necessary.
They embrace diversity and enjoy working with allied arts and artists including musicians, actors, singers, fine artists, poets, as well as dancers from varied backgrounds, training and ages; exploring ways to communicate and integrate their work, while gaining fresh vision from the perspectives of different artistic outlooks.
They have a cross-generational approach to their work believing there is no age limit on creativity and that dance can be enjoyed from youth to maturity. They think that the energy and physicality of youth integrates well with the wisdom and essence gained through age and experience, and that together they inform and enrich each other.
