Dance*is*life Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Sarah Crompton writing in the Standard quoted three contemporary dance choreographers who complained that contemporary dance training in the UK is not producing dancers with the necessary "rigour, technique and discipline" that they are looking for in a dancer. Farooq Chaudhry producer for the Akram Khan company was quoted as saying that across the UK's whole education system there's a drop in expectation. In research done on graduates of the London Contemporary Dance School they complained that their teachers didn't expect enough of them. Sarah Crompton's headline is " Talent is worth little without the hard graft that must go with it" - it seems that there is a lot of soul searching going on about dance training in the UK.

Dance*is*life Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Sorry didn't notice there is another thread on this in Doing Dance. Moderators please feel free to delete. Locked rather than merged - it's probably a bit late for that. Ian Macmillan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
