  • - A framework for creating your own inclusive dance work

What's it all about?

AnnieVickySarah (AVS) invite you into their virtual studio to explore their creative process and to make your own socially distanced duet inspired by memory, place, and senses through improvisation and setting material. AVS have developed a line of creative inquiry which looks for the unfamiliar in familiar places, and brings memories of spaces & rooms into our present environment.   AVS have designed this process with the idea that artists from a range of backgrounds can get involved- whether you are two independent artists working together or an artist facilitating a group of dancers. They encourage everyone to bring their own creativity and interests to the process and the experience can be adapted to artists working in digital and live settings.
