ResDance S1: Episode 2: Choreographing and Performing with outdoor site with Virginia Farman

Virginia Farman discusses the methodological approaches used when creating work and shares insight into her current PhD practice.  We discuss the challenges researchers face during the research process and consider how dancers can reveal a vulnerability and understanding of a place. Virginia is an artist- researcher and senior lecturer in dance and choreography at the University of Chichester. Her work is most usually associated with directing across a range of non-theatre locations and diverse situations. Virginia’s current PhD research draws on a portfolio of productions that use, dance, choreographic compositional and somatic practices, to cultivate dynamic exchanges between dancers and outdoor environments.
