Swoop
I created Swoop in 2009 for an online ABC Pool project celebrating the idea of shared creative work to promote Creative Commons as a valuable resource. Now, as a member of youMove Company, I experience the joy of artistic collaboration with my peers in the studio, under the watchful eye of our director, Kay Armstrong.
It is a rare thing to hear the thoughts, dreams and desires of a dancer in their own words...
Following the struggle to create and perfect reveals more about dancers than live performance...
Leading up to the performance season, 4Tell, in October 2011, the dancers of youMove Company write blogs where everything and anything is open for discussion...from studio practice, to the things in life that make us tick...
As a dancer in youMove, it is here that I have the opportunity to share my thoughts and experiences in dance...
