The TOOLKIT 2012 LAB will focus on the Viewpoints Training and Composition enabling performers, directors and dance makers to work together spontaneously and intuitively, to create work quickly and inventively. There will be an informal showing of work created during the Lab on 17 February 2012. Not to be missed this Intensive training is a must for all performers, directors and dance makers.

“Being in something that was full time was really valuable because it meant you could really focus on your craft and who you are as an artist, hit walls, break through them, I don’t think that same opportunity would have been there if it was only a couple of hours a day” — Lara Lightfoot (TOOLKIT 2010 participant)

“I loved every minute of the workshop” — Ryuichi Fujimura (TOOLKIT 2010 participant)
