The Remaining Dancers

See below for the bio's for Alexandra and Delle.



Alexandra Wood
Alex was born in Swindon and trained locally in North Wiltshire and with the Royal Ballet Junior Associates. She also trained in Birmingham and Bordeaux while studying for a degree in Law with French. She completed her dance training at London Studio Centre, graduating in 2008. She was a member of Intoto Dance Company in her final year at LSC, working with Ben Duke, Martin Lawrance, Kerry Nicholls, and Michael Popper in the creation of the company's national tour. She has since performed with Sebastian Rex Dance Group, H2 Dance, and E-Dance, and also appears in the BBC4 film 'Margot'. She is currently working with Rhiannon Faith O'Brien, as well as Antique Dances, and in April 2010 will be performing at the Oslo Opera House with the Norwegian company, Moving Art.

Delle Allen
Delle began her dance training at the age of 8. She subsequently attended the Legat School of Dance in East Sussex and studied primarily Ballet and Contemporary. In 2008 Delle successfully completed the Laban BA (Hons) in Dance Theatre and in 2009 the Masters in Performance whilst being a member of touring company Transitions. Transitions Dance Company 2008/9 toured three diverse pieces nationally and internationally enabling Delle to tour to Amsterdam, Norway and Japan providing a deep insight into contrasting audiences and cultures. Following her performance as the White Lady in Laban’s reconstruction of Diversion of Angels in 2007, she attended the Martha Graham School in New York in order to further study this discipline and enhance her own technique.

During her studies in London Delle has taken the opportunities to perform both within and out of Laban. In 2007 she performed in Geo-Metric with Odette Hughes and Darkness Cycle: Ago Pro Obscurum, choreographed by Marie-Gabrielle Rotie. Outside of Laban, Delle is member of Big Beef Dance Theatre, which performed throughout London and Brighton and tailor made pieces for specific events. She is also a member of Eventz Dance which has most recently toured in the Grimsby area, introducing dance to young audiences. Most recently she has joined Antique Dance, which is performing in upcoming Resolutions 2010.
