The dancers

Later on today im going to post some short bio's and head shots of the dancers. They are five extremely talented girls who im really excited to be working with. Im also more than grateful to them because at the moment they are doing this for no payment as we are in the process of trying to get funding, so the fact that they are giving up their time to rehearse ready for January's performance is hugely appreciated by myself and David.
I should explain what it is we are doing in January.......

On January 22nd we will be performing in Resolution! at The Place in Euston. Most dancer's have heard or know about Resolution! but its basically a platform for emerging choreographers to show their work. People like Wayne McGregor have shown work at Resolution! at the beginning of their career's so it can be a really important stepping stone for up and coming choreographers. Places are given by selection process and we were lucky enough to be given a spot. Three companies perform per night and I think we are the last company to go on for our night.
Im so excited about doing resolution as it could be the start of something great, at the same time I am also absolutely petrified that its going to be a complete and utter disaster.....im hoping it won't. The thing is Im putting my idea's and thoughts on movement out there and people may not like it but then again they may love it and im so worried about getting a bad reaction to the work. Its bloody scary and a big challenge but I do have fantastic dancers and a hugely talented co-choreographer! Oh its also going to be reviewed by National Dance Critics, i think that's the bit that scares me the most.

If you would like to know more about Resolution! go to www.theplace.org.uk and have a look around the website. Tickets go on sale in December so i will be making sure everyone buys a ticket as then I can at least pay my dancer's some money.
