Retina Dance Company performing PAGE1

April 2nd to 5th and April 10th to 13th 2007

Retina is leading an eight day intensive dance residency for dancers from age 11 to professional adults, to create a performance alongside Retina’s own production This is not a body at Sandfield Theatre, Nottingham on April 13th 2007.

Divided into three age groups, the residency will be taught at three venues across Nottingham by Retina’s exceptional team of company dancers and artistic director/choreographer Filip Van Huffel to create a performance piece by all the participants that will explore Retina’s unique movement style.

The aim of the festival is to bring dancers together from different abilities and experiences to engage in a dance project that encourages embodiment of Retina’s movement style as well as an exploration of own ideas. A chance to develop personal skills, enjoy moving and perform!
