Marin County, California
Still to come — we look forward to discovering what we can develop there.
Every summer
Dance camp
A week somewhere of great natural beauty, chosen by the dancers, making work that belongs to the place it was made in.
Each summer, company members have the option to join a partially subsidised week-long retreat in a location of great natural beauty — selected by the participants — to create site-specific work.
Dance camp participants live and eat together, rehearse and explore together, for a week of fun, bonding and creativity.
Where we have been
Coast to coast.
Rio del Mar, California
We returned to Rio del Mar and made Migrations, using different parts of the beach environment as we considered all those — human and animal, fish and fowl — who journey across the seas.
Rio del Mar, California
Beach- and ocean-related material for Aqua | Terra. Dancing on shifting sands turns out to be a fine workout for foot strength and stability.
Alma, Colorado
High-altitude dancing, and video footage gathered in locations both natural and human-made. The result is Altitude : Latitude, with a score composed for the piece by Mike Coffin.
Southwest Harbor, Maine
Where it started: a rainbow dance of love and togetherness on a lawn — sloped, which increased the challenge — overlooking Somes Sound. Love You More was performed on site for a small audience as part of a very special wedding ceremony, and a tradition was born.
