On the 30th, 31st August and 1st September dancers from Staffordshire Dance Collective will be using SHOP as a base for exploring and developing site-specific dance.
Led by Anna Macdonald from Forecast dance – www.forecastdance.org
Window works
A person is invited to come to a window in a particular building at a particular time. There they find a place to sit and something to drink. At some point a woman will come into their view from the window and write something on a piece of paper – she holds it up and they read ‘this is for you’…then she starts to dance.
The residency will begin to explore and develop material for a site-specific dance designed to be seen from a window. Participants will look at ways of working with site, playing with the peculiar romance involved in trying to communicate across a distance. The work will be fun and accessible encouraging dancers to work to their own strengths.
Staffordshire Dance Collective invite the public to come and view this process at any point during the three day residency and will offer an informal sharing of the work in progress on Wednesday 1st September.
