This month features Delve Dance plus Sophie Arstall and Michele Panegrossi.

Delve Dance Company present their new site specific work in collaboration with Sussex based choreographer Chloe Hunter.

Chloe's work is inspired by phenomenology, contact movement and collaboration. In her most recent work she has explored phenomenological themes such as embodiment, experience and perception and how they can be integrated within a choreographic process. Delve Dance Company, founded by Laura Erwin in 2011, is a repertory company based in London. An enthusiastic and passionate group of four dancers who work with a range of collaborators including choreographers, musicians, designers and photographers to create a diverse range of dance works. 

Sophie Arstall and Michele Panegrossi

“Our conceptual journey has begun by looking at the way we build our own identity in life and the way in which we present ourselves to the external world, being it society, our friends or even ourselves. We are concerned with how we employ repetitive behaviours and patterns to achieve a feeling of familiarity. The image that we find most appropriate to visualize this process is the spiral: it could seem that we are stuck in a loop, but the experience we gain after every round projects us onto a different plane, allowing us to constantly move forward. As a periodic movement of compression and decompression we constantly verify and reassess our choices, retracing our pathways to achieve a higher level of awareness. Every time we go through the same process our approach is slightly different, our journey more consistent, our experience more complete.”
