Company Chameleon's 'Easter Moves'

Company Chameleon started when Anthony Missen and Kevin Edward Turner met at Trafford Youth Dance Theatre in the mid-1990s. Two ordinary lads from Manchester, they shared an ambition to dance professionally. After developing their talent at Trafford, they went on to train with the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, and after graduating travelled and worked with some of the world’s most innovative dance companies and choreographers.They came home in 2007 with the aim of setting up their own dance company – and Company Chameleon was born. Today, Company Chameleon tours internationally, staging over 50 indoor and outdoor performances every year. Wherever we perform, we lead a dance class or a workshop. As a result, we have introduced thousands of young people, from countries all over the world, to a different side of dance and movement. In 2019, Company Chameleon welcomed Dame Darcey Bussell on board as the Company’s first-ever Patron.

This Easter, Company Chameleon is proud to present Easter Moves, three dance theatre workshops for beginners to advanced.
 
After touring the UK with our production, Witness, we present a unique opportunity to explore the piece in our home city of Manchester through workshops with director, Kevin Edward Turner.
Through warm-ups, creative tasks and exercises, you’ll work with Kevin to get up close to Witness, and find out more about the inspiring and original movement language that makes Chameleon’s style unique.
 
There are three full day workshops for different levels, all held in the STUN Studio at Z-Arts.

Using the Puppet scene from Witness as inspiration and the creative starting point for the workshop, you’ll explore how it feels to be an object that is moved and controlled by another.  Through partner, floor work and different movement styles, you’ll explore how best to communicate the idea and meaning of the scene through a range of performance techniques.

Suitable for dancers and non-dancers alike, this day offers a brilliant introduction to vocal work and how to use text with movement, and movement with text.  Working with a section of text from Witness, and through fun and creative tasks, you’ll explore inflection and intonation of the voice, translating text into movement and playing with sentence and sound structure to create something new.

First created on Spanish contemporary ballet company LaMov, Words Unspoken, the opening piece in Witness, combines Chameleon’s highly physical style with more traditional movement. Focusing on learning repertory from Words Unspoken, this fast paced and dynamic workshop, promises to be physically challenging, technically demanding and creatively inspiring. 
 
If you're interested in working with a professional dance company to max out your creativity and expand your dance and movement mind, then reserve your place now!  A member of the team will be in touch shortly with further information and payment details.
