WEAVE Fri 22nd May at London Met Uni



Hello everyone,

I am fortunate to have this opportunity to develop my work in conjunction with a research into Feldenkrais Method and documentation on dance practice led by Thomas Kampe at London Metropolitan University.

I will be working with a cellist Ute Kanngiesser to create a music and dance improvisation piece.

Please come to our performance at the end of a week-long residency.

WEAVE
'Weave' is a research project which brings together contemporary dance
makers and somatic practitioners to investigate the use of the
Feldenkrais Method as a tool within choreographic practice. The project
led by Thomas Kampe, includes collaborations by Simonetta Allessandri,
Katsura Isobe, Victoria Worsley, Alenka Herman, Colin Poole, and
Stephanie Schober.

Five multi-disciplinary researchers and their collaborators explore ways
of effectively and creatively documenting their work. They will perform
their work for you. During the final event of the series the researchers
and the documenters will discuss their choices and share the documentation
