How We Work

A diagram explaining the SpiralDance framework

We bring a fresh, holistic and creative approach to movement that incorporates principles from Western and Eastern disciplines.

We are currently developing SpiralDance exploring the spirals inherent in most forms of movement.

We work with improvisation, composition and choreography, including movement, singing, breath work, and rhythm. We collaborate closely with artists of diverse skills, talents and ages.

We aim to:

  • Expand accessible dance/movement vocabulary
  • Balance good technique with imagination and creativity
  • Honour and support individual talent
  • Work together collaboratively
  • Form a supportive community

The sessions are facilitated by members of SpiralArts company and include:

  • A warm up/preparation, including movement, singing and rhythm exercises
  • Some SpiralDance
  • Taught choreographed sequences
  • Time for creative exploration
  • A close down and time for discussion and questions.

When appropriate they can lead to performance projects (see past work)
