Jonathan Burrows

Mentoring for Dance Seminar

Dance Base, National Centre for Dance
Grassmarket, Edinburgh
Sunday 3 December 10.30 – 17.30

£35 (£25)

Over the past five years choreographer Jonathan Burrows has been developing a unique approach to mentoring dance. The aim of this mentoring is to allow the dancer or choreographer the opportunity to reflect on their own practice and focus on what is at the heart of their work. The mentor assumes nothing but only asks questions. By this process the participant has the possibility to sweep away long held illusions and arrive at new perspectives on what they’re trying to do. The seminar is open to dancers, choreographers and dance students. The seminar is organized in conjunction with a 5-day Mentoring for Dance Workshop produced by Bodysurf Scotland in Findhorn, Moray.

Jonathan Burrows is a former Royal Ballet soloist and now internationally acclaimed choreographer. He has made work for William Forsythe’s Ballett Frankfurt and two recent pieces, Weak Dance Strong Questions and Both Sitting Duet, toured to 14 and 17 countries respectively. His new piece, The Quiet Dance, made in collaboration with composer Matteo Fargion, opened in Munich in August 2005 and is now touring. In 2002 he was given an award by the New York Foundation for Contemporary Arts in recognition of his contributions to contemporary dance and Both Sitting Duet was the winner of a 2004 New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award. Jonathan is a Visiting Professor at the Theatre Department of Royal Holloway, University of London.
