Graduating in 2006 from the National Conservatoire (France) in Contemporary Dance and Ballet, Johnny had the opportunity to work with some of France’s greatest choreographers. He began teaching, choreographing and directing very early on in his career experimenting with a fusion of different styles: contemporary dance, ballet, street dance, modern’ jazz and parkour (free running). He has worked internationally with Hervé Diasnas, Raphael Cottin, Jean-Vincent Boudic, Bart Sluis, Tempered Body, FFIN Dance, Muddy Icon, C-12 Dance theatre, State Of Emergency, Harnisch-Lacey Dance Theatre and 2Faced Dance Company. Johnny performed with us 2007-09 for Boxin.

Georgina graduated with a Dance Theatre degree from Laban in 2006. During that time she worked with Retina Dance Company and had the opportunity to perform in pieces choreographed by Stephanie Schober and Marina Collard. Since graduating she has performed in two tours with Pretty Good Girl Dance Theatre, one of which was taken to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 09. Georgina was also a dancer for Kompany Malakhi’s tour of Boxin.

The next Dance Dialogues meet will be on Thursday Feb 11th.  Dance Dialogues is a space for local dance practitioners and companies to meet regularly to discuss their new creative ideas, burning questions on company development or approaches to dance education in Bristol. Kompany Malakhi will be hosting these informal sessions on the 2nd Thursday of every month, 12.30-2.30pm, in the Upper Coffee Bar at the Bristol Old Vic.

There is no need to book an appointment or confirm attendance as it is meant to be an informal arrangement. If you do want to meet someone in particular then you can always arrange it but do come along and get in the mix. Spread the word.

We hope this will allow the Bristol dance community to meet regularly, build cohesion and share learning and experiences. In January we met Champloo Dance Company to discuss their up and coming production at the Bristol Old Vic in March. We also discussed plans for getting regular professional dance classes in Bristol.
