As the last day of preparation begins, lots of tying up to do. On Monday we begin the last phase of our studio time before we go out on the road. This is a very exciting phase for the company as it’s when we start work with guest choreographer Gary Lambert. We are all eagerly awaiting his arrival.
We welcome 2 new dancers to the company – Lucille Teppa and Effie Ward, and we have Catrin Lewis on work placement from Trinity Laban, so lots of new energy coming into the company.
Mark Read, our production manager is busy contacting venues with our technical requirement, and Matt production assistant, is tidying up our touring equipment into our new dedicated storage space in Abertillery. We have recently been given some extra portable flooring to use for our community projects which is good news.
We also start our holiday dance club scheme on Monday in Abertillery, providing free holiday dance classes and workshops to children. They will be undertaking 4 intensive days in the studio with a sharing for parents and friends on the last day.
Finally this weekend, we will be shortlisting the Easter Intensive applications and selecting from them a group of dancers who will work with us in April to create a new work for public performance.
Immensely proud of all of our achievements and those still to come. We hope to see you at one of our shows in the coming months
