IDEACHOR 2017
'As you reach...' (Semi-finalists at MOVE IT & Capezio Championship 2017) The choreography’s starting point was looking at people’s body language when they meet; from first encounters to reunions of long lost family or friends. This short piece is also commenting on the effects of technology on social interactions and human relations in a today's society. ''It was incredible, it was so captivating, your characters were so clear right through the beginning, I wanted to know what was happening, I was engaged, choreographically it was so visually stunning'' Lukas Tyrell MacFarlane "It was fabulous, it was very unique, very different to anything we have seen here today, and everyone was an actor, and everyone on that stage knew how to act to their dance. I love originality that is what we need today" Arlene Phillips |

'Pace' (8mins Long) The Choreography is inspired by the art exhibition 'Momentum' showed at the Barbican - Curve Gallery. The choreography devised by Ideachor's members, recreates through the body and its relationship with space some of the patterns and most importantly the mood and environment originally created by the twelve electronic pendulums of the exhibition.
