]]>The first half of the show explores the idea that although we often strive for the same things, we each must find our own way. The dancers have been invited to think about their own journeys, their future opportunities and the decisions they may make.
This year RISE is 10 years old and the second half of the show celebrates the achievements of the company and the young people that have been part of its journey. We have revived some of our favourite pieces from the last 10 years, and invited previous company members on their own journeys, some working as professional dancers or training professionally, to join with the 2018 company.

Continuing the thread from the morning, afternoons will be group composition, influenced by David Zambrano's Passing Through structure. Starting with walking and running we'll build up a variety of improvisational techniques and skills to move and compose together (and apart!).
Suitable for experienced movers.
I highly recommend long trousers (within reason!) and covered shoulders.
