It is open to dancers at all stages of their careers, with an interest in making and is facilitated by award winning choreographer Roberta Jean, www.robertajean.org
Roberta works collaboratively with artists and makers from across disciplines to produce dances for a diverse range of contexts. She fosters safe creative spaces where dance artists feel comfortable and relaxed enough to reach states of vulnerability, to let go of performing and focus more on exploring and investigating movement in the early stages of developing new work. Roberta has presented at Sadler’s Wells, Tanzmesse, Dance4 and Dance Umbrella amongst others. She is the 2020 winner of the Bonnie Bird Choreographic Development Award, a 2019 finalist at Aesthetica Short Film Festival, New Renaissance Film Festival and a 2018 finalist for the Total Theatre & The Place Dance Award.
Déda has taken care to make participation financially accessible. After the disruption of the pandemic, Déda welcomes dancers to reconnect with themselves, their practice and their creative peers.

Week Two: 8th– 12th August
Open Studio
10am – 4.30pm
Five days of open studio practice where you can develop and deepen your investigations from week one.

Roberta Jean will be online offering choreographic mentoring to assist you in your investigations and choreographic development. For those keen to develop works-in-progress, there is the possibility to perform works as part of Derby Festé in September. This week is further fortified by a series of daily lunchtime lectures with artists who situate care as a central proposition in their work.
