Three independent dance artists with differing approaches, all centred round a deep understanding of the moving body. Alongside regularly producing new creative work, they share a spirit of enquiry and experience in bringing movement resources to a wide range of people, respecting the potential that movement has for well-being and connecting to environment.
Visitors are invited to dip into an offering of film, writing and a rolling programme of live practise and performance.
Sharon, Brenda and Alex welcome people to respond to the dancing body, through drawing or any art medium.
Brenda Waite is a performance maker and movement practitioner who creates solo and collaborative, interdisciplinary projects which often revolve around the physical relationship and experience we encounter with the material world. Improvisation and play are central to her practise.
Alex Howard is a dance maker with an interest in bringing people to see dance in informal settings. Her interests currently are in Soundscapes, a project that brings together a series of solo dances made to raw, recorded environmental sound, and Fields, a series of group dances which create atmospheres and patterns from minimal movement materials.
Sharon Gimpel is a dance artist and somatic movement practitioner. She explores the materiality of the body and the textures of movement in the meeting with the environment; gravity and light, floor and walls, rocks and water, other sentient bodies in space.
