The Parlour Rollers, a work created on WCD company dancers January 2007
Parlour Rollers are a breed of show pigeon that somersault on the ground. The imagery surrounding this bird's behaviour, alongside the idea of 'parlour ladies', created a point of departure for this new work. I would like to acknowledge the artistic input of Natasha, Jennifer, Sarah, Johanna, and Lise, who have brought this piece to life with grace.
