Hi everyone
Well, it’s almost been a week here in the studio working on our first new piece, Missing Pages, ready for next season. It has been lovely to return to the studio and start creating again, as everything is fresh, new and very exciting with each new challenge.
Myself, Megan and Effie are joined this year by Adam, a former student of our director, Sue, and he has brought a new dynamic to the company for this project. It’s really nice having another male dancer, even just for the banter. Haha.
The last few days we have been working off a short story, ‘Walter Walters’, witten for us by Welsh author John F Wake. A truly interesting story with so many questions, which we have combined with beautiful music by Ravel.
Working continuously in duet couples has been very exciting and rather challenging. Myself and Effie are ‘followers’ and so neither are over eager to take charge but it’s a great learning curve and we are both finding our feet.
I won’t write too much now, think it is time to chill with a cup of tea, have a bath and write up some notes from today and some counting counting counting!
Ttfn
Mike 🙂
