Founded
in 2003, Travel Art Dance Company brings together dancers from a range
of dance and movement backgrounds, with the motivation behind the group
being the combination of choreographed and improvised dance in a performance
context.
The experience of the dancers in the group ranges from contemporary
dance, classical ballet, improvisation and creative dance to yoga, gymnastics,
acrobalance, circus skills and martial arts. TADC performances combine
a variety of choreographic approaches, reflecting the rich and diverse
movement backgrounds both of the choreographers and of the individual
dancers in the group.
TADC productions showcase the strength, versatility and energy of the
company’s performers, and the fluid connections made between improvised
and choreographed movement on stage. Performances typically also incorporate
acrobatic and theatrical elements, which merge with dance movement to
add to the rich visual spectacle of the work.
The range of approaches utilised and the ways in which these are combined
creates performance works that are conceptually interesting, as well
as exciting, dynamic, beautiful and visually engaging.
