REVIEW EXTRACTS A striking performer…in turns eloquent, lyrical and acrobatic, classical…sharp, spare and powerful. David Adams, Western Mail (Kaiho)
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS Virta (Flow) Virta is based on a multi-directional improvisation that draws from the collaborative and experimental working processes of the three performers: Tanja Råman (movement), Philippa Reeves (voice) and John Collingswood (manipulated sound/image). 25 mins, 3 on stage, 4 on the road
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS Linea – Tracing Space One dancer, one musician and one artist use cameras, projectors and microphones to turn the theatre space inside out. Performing in the foyer and backstage, they construct a transitory map of their interactions. 60 mins, 3 on stage, 4 on the road
WRAP-AROUND Available: workshops, masterclasses, residencies and lecture demonstrations. Activities can vary from Cunningham-based technique class to improvisation sessions that use a live created/manipulated sonic environment.

Ideally aimed at 16+ and those who have some previous choreographic experience or are currently studying dance/choreography.
