Forthis new work I’ve drawn energy andstimulation from a group of people whowouldn’t normally be involved in creatingdance. Bringing their knowledge ofessential structures (such as anatomy,language, engineering, architecture, andlandscaping) to the studio, they’ve givenme and my dancers different objectives.Each brought a method of expression,which has not been within our realm before.”–Siobhan DaviesA Public Conversation:Siobhan Davies & Science in Society FacultyFriday October 6, 1.15pmBryn Mawr College, Multicultural CenterFor further information telephone: 610.526.5208* Classes are offered at no cost to participants but are intended for professionallycommitted dancers.
