An example of our work:

Dance and Live Music Workshop Day at Phoenix Theatre, Borden

FEEDBACK FROM PHOENIX CREATIVE DANCE & LIVE MUSIC WORKSHOP – 09.03.25.

The workshop was supported by Arts Council NPO funding and led by Phoenix Dance Officer Elizabeth Blake and members of SpiralArts Dance Theatre Company. Total number of participants =11( 8 local dancers/musicians + 3 from London.) It was a welcoming and safe creative space where a group of mixed ages and backgrounds could connect and engage in a unique sense of collective timing and movement. The creative movement provided an enjoyable break from the repetitive movement of ballet exam classes. Improvisation reinforced as a useful tool/stimulus for choreography. The session promoted a sense of calm and mental wellbeing. The music gave intention to the movement through call and response. Participants became more aware of what was happening around them ‘in the moment’. Participants gained new respect for each other’s art. The music was a good catalyst for shifting into a different style of movement rather than repeating habitual patterns. Participants felt they could just explore their own movement and music without judging it. Participants said it helped them remember why they do what they do!

THE WAY FORWARD

College/school workshops with 2 dancers and 2 musicians ?

Another workshop leading to a sharing in front of an audience ?
