A Russell Maliphant Dance Company and EncoreEast creative collaboration.
Focus was co-created and performed by the dancers of EncoreEast, choreographed by RMDC Dancers Alethia Antonia and Edd Arnold. Taking inspiration from Russell Maliphant’s Silent Lines. Focus was created over a period of 6 months via a series of online workshops and intensive weekends in the studio at DanceEast.
During the project we hosted 2 online open workshops attracting participants from across the world.
The project culminated in an evening of discussion, film, live and live streamed performance on November 3rd 2021.
