2011 Update
January 21, 2011
What a year! 2010 was a year of growth and change. Updates include:
July/August 2010, Impulstanz
Working with Davis Freeman (Artistic Director of Random Scream, credits include Forced Entertainment
and Meg Stuart) along with a group of dance artists from around the globe. The group remounted and performed Davis’ work ‘too shy to stare’ as part of the festival program at Impulstanz 2010 in Vienna, Austria with performances running for an entire week.
September 2010, Rehearsal Directing for Helen Walkley.
An incredible artist who has been teaching and performing for over 30 years. Over the last 6 years of my career I have watched our relationship grow from teacher/student to collegue/friend. Rehearsal directing for Helen was a true honor. I look forward to our connections in the future.
November 2010, Touring with MACHiNENOiSY
An incredible company whom I have been so fortunate to work with on and off for the past 5 years. Always fresh and truly contemporary, Daelik and Delia stand out and their work just keeps getting better and better. I hope our futures conspire again soon.
December 2010, 1st Creation Period for Nosh (working title)
Research becomes creation. December saw me working with Anne Cooper (gifted interpreter, improviser and long time company member of EDAM dance) to incorporate her as a collaborator in Nosh – a full length work to be premiered in Vancouver in 2011. (Researched with Caroline Farquhar, Rachael Wadham, Tanya Marquardt and Daelik.)
Relocation to Toronto, January 2011
As of January 2011 Laura will be located in Toronto. She will be offering opportunities to the public for classes in improvisation, creation methods by Liz Lerman, the Critical Response Process, and Pilates throughout the spring while researching and developing new solo work, ‘Pearl’ (working title.) Watch for updates.
