BIODANCE

We all lost an amazing friend, a brilliant dance educator and artist, an effervescent movement analyst, and a vibrant, generous and delightful person this past weekend. Cadence Whittier's courage, strength, ability to teach, express and share in ways that made such lasting impact were unparalleled. We all love and appreciate her spirit and spunk, her bag of constant surprises, and her wise and wonderful ways of living and sharing. Her gifts were abundant and inspiring, and I... am so grateful to have had the opportunity to dance alongside Cadence in her work and my own (one such piece was this duet shared through this Youtube link that we toured to NYC and Salt Lake City a while back), to work and teach with her, and to take classes with her and simply enjoy the amazing friend and human she was. We love you Cadence - your spirit will carry on in the many people you touched. My heart wraps around Cadence's family including Dustin who took such good care of her, and around her colleagues and closest friends. Godspeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKmrH5DOHcg See more

Amazing opportunity for local artists. Though it has already closed, let’s hope they do another round!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to make a difficult financial choice to end our participation in Adelaide Fringe a bit early. We are grateful to have brought our work to this amazing venue. If you were hoping to see it or have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]!
