SpiralArts is known for
developing
new work and embracing diverse influences from East and West. They
bring inspiration, new vision and holism to dance theatre.
Their primary activities are dance research and
development for the purpose of teaching, choreography and performance.
Dance is the essence of the work and is used as an
art
in itself and the common denominator between arts. They are
currently developing ‘SpiralDance’ – a
new way of
dance created from a fusion of Eastern and Western disciplines and
inspired by nature. It explores spiral forms, and is expressive
movement that is natural, creative and accessible with clear technique
and form.

improvisation evenings, platform performances, as well as site specific
performances at the Eden Project and Castle Drogo. As part of their educational
work they have run a project in schools in Cornwall 'Celebrating
Diversity', a summer course at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama

School of
Shiatsu a form of massage that enhances awareness of the health of the body.
"From the uplift and joy felt in
the
rhythm and flow of dance to the still confidence present in good
posture, the body becomes the vehicle through which imagination takes
form."
"You do not have to be a dancer,
but
honour the dancer in yourself"
