Jerwood Bank 2008 – Siobhan Davies Dance

I trained initially in theatre and went on to study dance at studios in London, New York, San Francisco and Seattle. I work as an independent dance artist in London making and presenting my own work, teaching, and curating and producing performance, workshops and a dance-in-health programme. At times, I also work in collaboration with other artists and dance for other choreographers. My choreographic and performance work is deeply informed by improvisation and somatic approaches to movement.

My interest in the Bank Project has been to undertake extended research away from my current professional commitments in order to renew and develop my practice. Specifically, I am interested to investigate the choreographic approach employed by Siobhan Davies in order to stimulate, challenge and develop my performance and making practice.

I hope to complete the project with new skills and inspiration, and a deepened understanding of the relationship between improvisation and choreography.
