Review from Italy: http://www.iltitolo.it/giornale/notizie-liguria/forme-darte-nella-danza-diverso.html Translation:
Sunday, April 13 at the Teatro Civico of La Spezia was held a dance show
conceived and designed by the dance school of Penny Crump. To allow her
students to have an experience of different dance styles she invited from London
Anna Watkins, dancer, choreographer, and founder of her company Watkinsdance
with the special guests of two of her dancers Ellen Yılma and Petros Trekis. The show developed into something extremely interesting, in which the
experimentation of the body reached levels of cutting-edge research. Nothing
was left to chance but everything was based on the essential. The human body
was the focus of this performance the stage was limited to a few volumes
animated with intense but monochrome lighting creating dreamlike effects of
undoubted involvement. Mostly percussion music, it wasn't overwhelming but on the contrary forcing
concentration on the movements of the dancers who wanted to transmit
something deep and personal. A large part of the show, the entire first Act, has
been dedicated to creative Dance tought by Elisabetta Vittoni, choreographer and
dancer with an important role in the choreography of this show. She was also
responsible for the initial performance in the form of video that introduces the
concept of creative dance, which express personality through the creation of free
movement where it is important to improvise. The second part was built and choreographed by Anna Watkins, the first two
pieces performed by the students of the school, while the last one saw the
professional dancers from London that accompanied the choreography in a
performance built on the theme of the relationship and on the various
developments of affection between men and women. The show, complex in concept, revealed, beyond the undoubted skill of the guest
british dancers, also the students of Penny Crump's school, already demonstrated
on other occasions, to obtain from her pupils, even the smaller ones, a surprising
level of professionalism that makes these shows really enjoyable by all lovers of
dance. BIANCA ZANARDI, il Titolo |

Thoroughly enjoyed being apart of The Female Choreographers Collective on Saturday the 13th October 2012. We presented 'Inseparable' performed by dancers: Ellen Yilma and Travis C Knight. Thanks again to you both, you were fantastic, well done Travis for taking on the role so well in a short time frame. Great to have such hard working dancers. Well done to Holly Noble and Jane Coulston for their launch of this great new platform. Great to see works by other female choreographers: Holly Noble of A.D Dance Company, Jane Coulston of Beyond Repair Dance and Lucia Piquero of Diciembre Dance Group. Will continue to support them and hope to see more in the future! Thanks! |
