Live Work: A dance podcast

Ahead of The Place's annual dance platform Resolution, I sat down with two of this year's choreographers Fraser Buchanan and Amy Ollett for a chat about their work and process. What snowballed was an interesting discussion about the experience they've brought from their training into life as choreographers, the role Instagram has in the life of artists, how dance and fashion are excellent bedfellows and getting thrifty when rehearsing on a budget. Fraser Buchanan's piece There Won't Be Glitter is being performed at The Place on Wednesday 20th February. Follow him on Instagram @therewontbeglitter and @fraserfab or find him on Twitter @fraserbuchanan. Amy Ollett's piece Milk is being performed at The Place on Thursday 24th January. Visit her website amyollett.com for more info and follow her on Instagram @wamyollett or on Twitter @_amoolouise.
