We are delighted to have both been individually selected for Sadler’s Wells Summer University. The first of its kind in the UK, Sadler’s Wells Summer University is a four year open programme studying the art and craft of choreography.
From 15 – 26 August 2011, we were given the opportunity to work with award-winning choreographer and author Jonathan Burrows for a fortnight of intensive talks, lectures, discussions and workshops, alongside 13 other young professionals. With additional input from guest artists and speakers including Liz Lerman, Matteo Fargion, David Hinton and Rudi Laermans the course focused on compositional and choreographic processes, performance and philosophies. It encouraged us to question how dance can be made and what it might communicate to somebody watching. We look forward very much to next year’s installment.
