Creating a Dance Performance involving five performers in their 30s-70s: Jo Tomalin talks to Robbie Synge and Lucy Boyes about Ensemble

Ensemble is a group of dancers who get together to create, for friendship and to challenge themselves, for the past six years. Jo Tomalin talks to Robbie Synge and Lucy Boyes, choreographers and co-Directors of Ensemble, a dance production working with people of different ages.

Ensemble is a joyous expression of togetherness involving five performers in their 30s-70s. Gather with the group on a journey that lays bare their strengths, efforts and possibilities together and aims to uplift and surprise. Expect a series of physical interactions that aim to test and challenge expectations of age in performance. Ensemble is the result of the group’s work over a six-year period to challenge their physical possibilities together. This process has built a friendship and understanding reflected in dance sections of tightly coordinated timed choreography to daring acrobatics and precarious balances. www.madeinscotlandshowcase.com
