Community and educational projects:
The company is currently involved with the music department of University of Herts; composer Roberto Filoseta and
students of the Masters course in Composition/Media/Sound Technology. This project will result in a performance sharing of 6 new music/dance compositions on 19th May at the Weston Auditorium. Do get in touch if you would like to come see this work.
I will also be running an Arts Science workshop for a Luton secondary school, exploring some of the core ideas that we work with, in collaboration with Luton Arts at the Hat Factory, July 14th.
The most recent workshops Jane has been leading with collaborators:
Fuzzy Logic
A creative dance workshop that draws on Nature's systems for compositional strategies. Combining improvisational and theatrical dance techniques with interdisciplinary media leads participants to evolve new ideas, discoveries and performance. Recent workshops took place at Impington 6th Form College, Cambs, and Maltings Arts Centre, St. Albans.
OR something more technologically sophisticated.....
Lights, Camera, Inter-Action
An intensive workshop for choreographers and interdisciplinary
performance makers interested in making movement-based work that
integrates projected imagery with particular focus on the software
Isadora. Exploring the integration of moving images with
performance using this video/image capture and projection software.
Most recent workshop held at New Cut Arts Centre, Suffolk and London Metropolitan University.
Jane Turner and company are experienced teachers and project leaders and are always interested in new opportunities for developing creative learning performance based projects with new groups in new situations. This is usually linked to their current work.
In addition to dance-based content (contemporary and improvisation techniques, choreography, performance skills) these could include:
- one off workshops or performance-making residencies
- working with new technology in performance
- creating interdisciplinary work: objects, writing text, designing space
- exploring identity, representation, expression in a complex world
