Hi everyone,
So I have been a little quiet this month due to illness and doing lots of traveling round the country meeting lots of wonderful dancey people and making some exciting connections!
Mental Health and Long Term Illness
I have just got back from Laban where I met two wonderful ladies from 'Hoot' based in Yorkshire who ran a workshop for dance practitioners who work with participants with mental health issues. The day was inspiring and this is something I would really like to establish in the South Devon area and I'm going to try and get the planning and research done for this by the end of the month, so I will keep you posted on my progress. If anyone has any useful connections especially with GP's or other organisations that you think might be interested in a project like this please do get in touch!
Big Dance
So I have been busy learning this years Big Dance routine choreographed by the wonderful Wayne McGregor and I already have 3 schools signed up for the big schools pledge in the dartmouth and Kingsbridge area and I'm working on the rest! So if you are a school in the South Devon area and you want to get involved in Big Dance please sign up for the big schools pledge and get in touch, I'm more than happy to help! I am also working with Stoke Flemming and lots of dance groups including SpinDrift Youth and Dartmouth School of Dance to put together an exciting dance event on the 20th May! More info to follow soon.
SpinDrift
For those of you who don't know about SpinDrift that are a local professional dance company who also do a lot of fantastic work in the community and in schools. They are currently looking for a choreographer to work with them to make a new work to add to their ever expanding rep! They also run a youth dance company at Kingsbridge school on a Friday night. Please see my other posts for more detailed information about both of these exciting opportunities!
Well thats all for now folks but please do forward me information about any dance activity or events in South Devon so i can get the information out. And lets make Big Dance a great one this year so please sign up to the Big Schools Pledge if you are a school!!
