Graduate Training Programme 2011


Hello all,

The Graduate Training Programme has come to a close. The programme finished on a high as we performed at The Core, Corby Cube. The performance was a success and has received great feed back. Well done to all the artists that took part and thank to everyone who came to watch.

Check out Dance4's website to see the members of Dance4's Graduate Company along side a fun photograph of the group!

The Graduate Training Programme allowed ten emerging artists to work with Dance4's Associate Artist Robert Clark, explore and create their own work and learn about areas within the dance sector.

I am confident in saying that the two weeks have been life changing, enjoyable yet intense. From rehearsals with Robert Clark to improvising with a coat, the group have learnt news skills and formed many new relationships.

Over the six days research period, Robert Clark worked with the group to create a piece entitled ' A History of Private Moments'. The piece worked with a collage of images, still and moving, open to interpretation by the audience and exist to be read like a fast moving flick book. During the process the dancers formed four distinctive takes on privacy, its boundaries, content and their relation to it, utilising a group improvisation score as its base. The piece allowed the artists to work together and move as one.

We had a lot of fun and it was great to see a variety of personalties shining through.

Best Wishes

Natalie
