Bite Size Pieces: Alumni Performance Platform

Bite Size Pieces is our performance platform for dance alumni supporting creative practice. It offers the opportunity to showcase new work with professional tech support and receive peer feedback.

The scheme, which launched in March 2019, continues with a quartet of alumni sharing work in the Laban Building’s Studio Theatre on Saturday 22 February 2020.

The programme features:

• Kate Brown’s What's up buttercup? In the bag
an experiment in film, choice and chance including projected video footage and live dancing

• Aline Derderian’s The Prophetess (A tribute)
a reimagining of revolutionary dance maker Anna Halprin’s first solo (1947), influenced by the ritualistic whirling of Sufi Dervishes

• Daisy Farris’ Whitehall 9400
a short excerpt of the choreographer’s first solo work inspired by her grandparents’ long-distance relationship during World War 2, using physical theatre to reimagine the life of an ordinary woman in an extraordinary situation

• Elise Phillips’ Waterbodies
an aesthetic and non-narrative work of dance and film highlighting the patterns, detail and grandeur of nature that invites people to notice and connect to their local environment in new ways

As part of the evening the audience will be invited to give feedback to the artists, guided by Lizzi Kew Ross (Artistic Director of Lizzi Kew Ross & Co and Lecturer in Choreography at Trinity Laban) and Charles Linehan (previously Choreographer in Residence at The Place, now Reader in Choreography at Trinity Laban).
