Home Turf rehearsal photo by Gigi Giannella
The reason I chose to take part in this project was because of
the opportunity to perform once again on Sadler's Wells main stage, but this
time with an entirely different group of people dancing about a topic I knew
nothing about -football!
We have done so much in a such a short space of time but one of
my favourite parts of this project has been working under a new choreographer
Pascal with my fellow dancers from NYDC (alumni)
In high school I was part of the girls football team. I would
usually play defender or goal keeper as our team was very strong so the ball
rarely came in my direction! I was never fully into it and spent the majority
of the game prancing about like the dancer I am! I guess you could say football
and dance were related and it has definitely played a small role in shaping my
knowledge for Home Turf!
