'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

The dance uses music appositely created by British composer Andy Higgs; his work has been recently featured in two productions of Stop Dance Company.

Music: Andy Higgs
