THE CHOREOGRAPHY PROJECT 6 April - 16 May 2010 was led by dancer/choreographer Eddie Kay. It culminated in an informal studio performance of ECHO INTERRUPTED...

"...we attempted to reveal and dissect personal habitual behavior and everyday physical actions, and to use this as the main source through which to develop our dance abilities and generate material.  Employing different choreographic techniques , we worked collectively to create and direct an array of sequences and scenes.  ECHO INTERRUPTED is a lucky bag of expressions drawn from the participants."  -Eddie Kay
