Thrilled to announce @molchatdomaband “Ty Zhe Ne Znaesh Kto Ya” has been nominated for best choreography in this years @ukmva !!
So grateful to @brother_echo and @maxim.kelly for having me on board and all the team and crew for making the experience so memorable!
Spent the last month ‘periodically snogging some skeletons’ for @abramovicinstitute , @blenardazizaj and @bllyz .
The most bonkers, wonderful and transformative experience of my career so far. Immensely grateful for every member of our graveyard orgy for making this so much fun and for all of the team @factory_international for providing us with such a safe and supportive space.
Huge congratulations to @hannahjayneg , @jackqueers and @the_projectpeople on the Offie award win for Giselle: Remix!
Was a joy to be involved in the show and cannot wait for what’s around the corner ;)
We are so excited to announce that Spike King @spikeking is the second Choreographer joining us at The Playground this Friday 🎉
“I’m Spike, a freelance contemporary dance artist living and working in London.
I draw a lot of inspiration from improvisational movement languages such as Gaga and Butoh, so the session will be a blend of many different techniques and tools I have picked up along the way.
The physicality will be completely at the dancer’s discretion to what level they are wanting to go; I invite and encourage the individual to do what feels right within their body.”
The ideas I will be exploring during the session are ones I often return to within my work and they largely boil down to two concepts.
Firstly the idea of dancing a ‘constant becoming’ or an endlessly transitional state of improvised movement.
Secondly the atmosphere one gives off when they dance and how we can tune it.
We will play with many ideas to train these two things, including awareness and breathing exercises, as well as pushing the body to a state of physical and mental fatigue.
