I found Home Turf by searching for dance projects to do over the summer holidays. I was really pleased when I came across Home Turf as the concept of it really appealed to me, lots of people coming together to create an exciting and unique piece of dance. It also appealed to me because of my love and passion for dance and being able to give myself a new challenge by collaborating it with football. I found this aspect of it really interesting.
What has been your favourite part of the Home Turf experience thus far?
What has been your favourite part of the Home Turf experience thus far?
I have enjoyed working with such a large variety of people and feel that the diverseness of everyone involved as well as the aspect of dance and football together is what makes Home Turf unique.
What is your relationship with dance and football? How have your past experiences with dance and football shaped your time at Sadler's Wells for Home Turf?
I have been dancing from a very young age and it has always been a hugely important part of my life. Over the years I have had lots of fantastic dance experiences and I hope to continue to do so as part of my career. Having these experiences and training has definitely prepared me well for Home Turf such as the hard work, intense rehearsals and working with new people. I've always used elements of my life experiences to help portray emotions in my dance whether it be happy, sad, fast or slow etc, so after looking at football I was able to see how you could also use these elements in the same way.
I haven't had much experience in football other than knowing that it involves teamwork and energy. From being at Home Turf I have learnt that you see this in dance as well as exhilaration, excitement, emotion and lots of movement. Because I am used to using my life experiences to help with my dance, since being at Salder's Wells I have been able to use this in a new way by taking the movement and emotions from football and incorporating that into dance, which I really enjoyed. This is something that I would not have normally thought of about football and has been so inspiring.
