Where does the creative process start? How can we start from a different place?
Led by Artistic Director Christine Devaney and joined by some of the company’s long-standing creative collaborators, these intensive weekend workshops are aimed at creative professionals who are keen to delve more deeply into their practice through starting from a different place: dancers, physical performers, musicians, writers, makers. It is a unique opportunity to venture out of comfort zones and develop new approaches in a playful and structured space. Over two days, Christine shares aspects of her creative practice, looking into the various ways that she initiates and unlocks ideas which become the basis to create work from. The focus is on exploring collaborative and experimental methods of working between movement, music, imagery, text and objects/materials.
‘The weekend was a wonderful opportunity to be sharing and collaborating with artists from various specialties, to collectively push us outwith our own conventional practices.’
