Jerwood Bank
“Each year Siobhan Davies Dance has offered six exceptional dance artists the opportunity to develop their artistic practise. Working with company dancers over six weeks the participants explore ideas and practice developed during the recent work of Siobhan Davies Dance. The Jerwood Bank project is set up to give dance artists the time to work creatively and reflectively. Participants are guided to explore ideas and material, build up structures and to recognise what has or has not been achieved.” Siobhan Davies, Artistic Director. Siobhan Davies Dance
