Co Motion
2019
Working with choreographer Luke Brown and Magpie Dance, Cando2 performed at Trinity Laban in June 2019 bringing a piece that pushed and challenged the dancers.
Magpie Dance, a leading dance charity for learning disabled dancers, collaborated with Cando2.
Choreographer Luke Brown’s idea was to stay true to his own company’s style revolving around contact work and touch with a supportive ensemble feeling throughout. The goal was to create a safe space of exploration with partner work in this wonderful sophisticated work.
