Sally's first week at Patua Dance

Sally's had 2 days so far with her training and performance residency at the Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff.

As she doesn't have internet access, she's informing me to report back as promised.

She's really enjoying getting to know 3 beautiful dancers from all over Wales. Lucy and Eeva are non-disabled, and Leila is a dancer with a learning disability.

They are exploring lots of new ways of working together using improvisation. No props at the moment. However she's been spending the afternoon giving the other dancers an opportunity to explore working from her wheelchair, and finding ways for them to climb and get height using the chair with Sally supporting them - all whilst travelling through space!

This morning she had fun combining movement and song.

Sounds like a much more exciting day than mine in the office!
