An Honest Conversation Series
CONCEPT Sacha Copland
COMPANY Java Dance Theatre
Talk, dance and be honest
41-year-old Sacha has choreographed more than 20 full length dance theatre works and now she wants to talk. Sacha also wants to dance. Sacha will try to be honest while she dances and talks. Throughout 2023 seven conversations will take place, each with a different chatty dance artist. They will all try to be honest while they dance and talk. Each conversation will only ever happen once.
Dancer/choreographers Braedyn Togi, Loughlan Prior and Stela Albuquerque have already been brave enough to commit to a conversation and to mix things up, dancer Bjorn Aslund will host two of these conversations. Bjorn is a prolific artist who lives in many different worlds.
Sacha, Bjorn and these fearless artists can’t make any promises but they will try to dance, talk and be honest.
