I am incredibly grateful to announce that I received funding from Creative Scotland to further research and develop my solo show ‘Within Reach.’ Many thanks to Dance Base and Edinburgh College for their support. You can find information about my public showing here:

Alan is running a six week virtual choreography research group. Dates are April 9th to May 14th. Cost £30. 6 to 7 pm. The theme of this bloc is collage, working with a sound score of text, ambient sounds and music to create dance, movement and theatre. Improver/Intermediate level. You will learn choreographed phrases and create your own moves through improvisation and movement scores. On the last week there will be an opportunity to share the work live with family and friends. To register, email Alan and he will send you his bank account details and a few days before class begins he will send a zoom link and password.

Personally I find our Friday night class a sanctuary where we can escape and restore. Alan is the most engaging and fun teacher to work with” (class participant)
