Blue Eyed Soul Dance Company, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

We’ve posted some of our archive dance for screen work up on the Blue Eyed Soul Dance Company You Tube profile.  It’s great to have some of this history available to view.  We’ll be delivering more dance for screen this year as part of our LIKE Youth Dance programme in Shropshire and Telford. 

Make a cup of tea and take a look!

Following on from the Company’s work in Hong King last December, we have been invited to lead workshops at the Guangdong Dance Festival and to meet with British Council and dance organisations in Shanghai as well as a reunion meeting with Symbiotic Dance in Hong Kong at the end of July. The project is funded through a British Council Connection through Culture award and aims to explore future dance possibilities between Blue Eyed Soul and our counterparts in China and Hong Kong.

Staff are engrossed in preparation for the performances in Washington and Cardiff.

We are really looking forward to working with Rose, Jess and Eleni again on TAKE; a Dance in The Park, it needs reworking without the rig and ready for an ‘end on’ performance in a theatre space. Aldous Everard is rigging for us and Arnim Friess will create a lighting plan. We’ve fixed up a rehearsal space in a farm barn (available now the lambs have been moved out) and plan to have final technical rehearsals In the Walker Theatre at Theatre Severn.

Sally has been recording some thoughts and memories in preparation for devising and rehearsals of ‘Sugar’ a 3 minute piece originally commissioned by Greenwich and Docklands Festival for Liberty Festival last year, which is now to be extended into a 15 minute piece.

Please send us your empty sugar bags to fill with sand to counterweight Sally in her wheelchair!
