Join dance artists Julie Cleves and Robbie Synge for the inaugural evening of their 2 week Open Choreography Residency at Siobhan Davies Studios.
They will share their practice in a presentation of physical actions, video and discussion. This is a FREE event, but make sure you register for tickets!
----------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ----------
... Julie Cleves and Robbie Synge will continue their long-term work, which includes proactively challenging personal disability access issues through object designs and collaborative, physical actions. They will seek input from experts in design and architecture to develop existing and new movement sequences together.
Over eight years ago, Julie and Robbie set about investigating the physical possibilities of moving and dancing together on the floor. Their studio-based practice of several years developed a specific floor-based movement technique and understanding.
Attention since shifted to getting outdoors, being visible and achieving simple ideas such as sitting together on grass and moving together along an uneven forest path. The search for new ways of sharing everyday experiences in turn highlights problems to be solved through novel means.
Julie and Robbie return to Siobhan Davies Studios, their first site of working together, to pursue a specific object-involved sequence of actions involving moving to the floor, sitting and returning to sitting/standing. This sequence is the frame for considering contexts and details around performance and encounter of our work, and its broader implications. Visitors and conversations will be warmly welcomed.
Open Choreography Residency Julie Cleves and Robbie Synge 28 Aug - 7 Sep
Our Open Choreography programme gives artists residency and performance opportunities that also invite wider audiences to experience and be part of the making process through open rehearsals, discussions and workshops.

"I think I had fear in the Arctic. And through that sense of fear and hugeness I was understanding the claustrophobic circumstances that we have given ourselves in very heavily populated urban situations."
