* 1 hour open studio. Join us in the studio to watch the company rehearse for the last 60 minutes of our day. You are invited to bring a sketch book and pen, a cuppa tea or just yourself. It’s an invite from us to watch our company at work.
* A short 15 min break to to change spaces.
* 20–minute presentation on VOXED’s artistic interest in bringing together movement and text in narrative works. We’ll also share what we consider when developing new writing for dance works and how we go about building scripts for our dance-theatre works. This includes the journey from concept, through script development, to the generation of movement material in the rehearsal room, which then leads to final iterations of the script in response to movement.
* 40– minute Q&A and discussion in which participants are encouraged to bring questions they are currently working with and share approaches from their own practices.
