Having tested the symbiosis between our work and established a foundation for collaboration, I made a successful application for an a-n New Collaborations bursary. Without funding it was proving difficult to work together as often as we would wish and it was clear that we needed to work more intensively to really progress our ideas. We also wanted to work with a dancer and we could not recruit without being able to pay them and cover expenses. The application proposed that the bursary
would enable us to set aside dedicated time to interrogate our different perspectives, to outline ideas that we want to trial and how we might approach working collaboratively. We aim to test how an experienced choreographer and trained dancer would approach the concepts I am working with through discussion and practical workshop time. I would expect to achieve a shared understanding of our respective expectations and whether there is the potential for working successfully together. The workshops would result in filmed footage which will be edited and shared for review and
development.
