Dance session theme
Fascinated by Narrative Ballet & Storytelling, Deborah takes inspiration from a project based on the musician Eliza Marshall's Freedom to Roam: The Rhythms of Migration project/score.

Using text based exploration the session adapted words to create geographic environments. Using a soundscape created in real time by Eliza Marshall. Dancers were offered space and time to experiment, improvise, and collaborate in order to find a way to describe a given landscape through movement.
