Forward In Motion Dance Festival 2011
SECOND YEAR PERFORMANCE PROJECT – CHOREOGRAPHY BY ANDREA BUCKLEY
Unwritten Dance – Shifting Time
Unwritten Dance is a company of second year dance students, studying at Coventry University. As part of their Performance Project module they have been given the opportunity to work with an independent dance artist and choreographer to create a unique piece, of work within a professional setting. This piece of work is to be showcased as part of The Forward in Motion Dance Festival 2011, alongside other work shown by Influx and Rooted Dance Company.
Shifting Time is what we have named our creative process. It has given us permission to expand our perception and step out side of our routines and habits
Time and space have become our playmates
Using postcards, objects, improvised workshops, body parts and contact work, Andrea Buckley helped us to create a twenty minute performance piece. Themes through this set improvised piece include the concept of chance and fate, time passing through space and the idea of orbiting. This piece will allow an audience member the opportunity to question everyday movement in improvised timings.
