23 Feelings in Dance


Over 100 choreographers responded to a call to create a three minute piece of dance based on "emotions".

23 Pieces were chosen and performed. At each performance the audience was asked what emotion (if any) they felt was being represented in the piece and afterwards the choreographers were invited onto the stage to talk about their piece and its development.

Dance Doctor, Dance!


Dance Doctor, Dance! The Psychology of Dance Show, was first performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2010.

This one-man show told the story of how the way you dance on the funky disco floor is influenced by the size of your ears and how clapping your hands and slapping your thighs can make you a better problem solver.
