Class

"Then I came in twice a week - for my own enjoyment as well as to be a guide. And then we started to apply some of the splinters of the ideas back into the piece."

Ideas

Quote_1.png
Siobhan Davies
"It's not just for its influence on us, but to know that we can play a part in it, to understand the influence that we have outside our own existence."

Existence

Siobhan Davies
"The dance world is too small in lots of ways - it's too intense, it rattles around itself, and it needs exposing to other ideas."

Dance

Quote_1.png
Siobhan Davies
"Yes - it's the same in any other work - the more you massage your thinking the more capable I believe you are of expanding how you go about things and learning."

Work

Quote_1.png
Siobhan Davies
"The first 2 weeks, they didn't learn the piece - they went through the process of how the piece was made."

First

"There's a mass of places, really, where the idea started."

Idea

Quote_1.png
Siobhan Davies
"We're talking about people who've already got 3-4, if not 5-6 years' experience or more, and it's about trying to help professionals develop, using us as a resource for that development."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Siobhan Davies
"If I only made dances about my own experience in dance, it would always be on my track, and I don't want that, I want to be on the track of where dance can take me."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Siobhan Davies
