DANCE COLLABORATIONS
A workshop I did on 21st April 2023, with Choreographer, and SABABA Co. Founder - Bar Groisman at The Playground Rambert workshop at Rambert Dance School Waterloo.
I improvised and composed live music, sounds and beats as Bar workshopped with 22 dancers, creating a piece exploring the various subjects of her new Arts Council Funded, Sababa Co. Production ‘Coiled Up’ which I am also the composer for.

‘Coiled Up’ - December 2021 (Work In Progress)
‘Coiled Up’ by the Sababa Co. Dance Company, Music by me. (a Work in Progress)
After 3 weeks in the studio in November/December 2021, we’re now coming to the end of the Research and Development stage of this project and piece.
It’s brought me deep joy being able to create the soundtrack to this show, and to get to work with such brilliant, creative dancers. The subjects and topics touched on are very important and poignant, and it’s been an honour to get to translate these raw emotions and issues into music.
I can’t wait to see how it continues to develop in the coming months and hopefully some day soon we can get this show on the road, for all the world to see and hear !

This track below is our first collaboration together, for a debut showcase performance of her company’s piece, 'Aize Balagan' - performed at RESOLUTION 2020 at The Place on Wednesday 12th February 2020. The track I wrote entitled ‘That’s Nice’ was for the final scene of the show.
