I am very excited and pleased to have been asked to work as Resident Artist at Greenwich Dance.
The first event I was asked to facilitate for was at the The Big Family Cabaret which worryingly coincided with the Open Studios weekend at our studios at Second Floor Studios Woolwich. My 15 year old son came to my rescue and sat in my studio so it could remain open for the afternoon and my 12 year old daughter accompanied me to Greenwich Dance to help me encourage the youngsters to join us on the floor to draw. In fact there was a huge amount of enthusiasm for the activity and no encouragement needed to participate, so happily she was able to sit and draw too.
A summer of exciting projects with Greenwich Dance lies ahead. Why not join us at Greenwich World Cultural Festival in the grounds of Eltham Palace 1st July 12.30-4.30; see Protein Dance perform The Picnic choreographed by Luca Silvestrini and create in clay with me, inspired by the dancers.
Or maybe you could arrive by water to The Big Dance Big Top Tent in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich, 5th July – 9th July, workshops for professional dancers, children and adults and on the last day a Family Cabaret at 4.00pm followed by Cabaret 2 (14+) at 7.30pm.
I will try to capture the spirit of each event and post images here.
