Hello all, just a quick blog from me this morning as I observe the company rehearse their second piece “Five Dances”. As Megan and Mike revisit their solo material, Lucille embraces the musically driven material that was created before she began working with the company! A  very brave task of learning the repertoire from a video with help from Sue and company dancers. The score provides depth and direction as they skim across the studio accordingly.

Day 2 of my second week with FFIN and I have been fortunate enough to take part in all the tasks that have been set by Gary and learnt all the taught material that has later been fragmented by him. I definitely feel like the word “placement” has been taken to another level! Beginning my day with company class, followed by a cheeky coffee & using the remainder of the day to select and refine set sequences has given me a small taster into what I would like to be doing once getting my degree from Laban. Some very beautiful things happening in the studio here in Abertillery, so I hope you can all come and watch the double bill that will be going on tour as of next month, starting in the Bonnie Bird Theatre, Laban.

Caio for now. Catrin. x
