Clare and Coco selected some movement from the improvisations in the first rehearsal:
Improvisation 1 - we liked the first movement made by the dancer with the orange trousers - we liked the sweeping nature of the movement which was also tightly controlled.  The movement where she slides her hands down her back followed by the 'passing on' movement with the hands towards the next dancer were particularly effective.

Improvisation 2 - we liked the last movement by the dancer in the white zip-up top with blonde hair.  We particularly liked the arm movements.

They also sent in some Escher images for us to work with - click here to see the images on the inspiration page.  We combined the movements that they chose with the images, and came up with this duet.

The phrases that Clare and Coco selected worked very well together, and the dancers, Ronnie and Sarah, added references to the positions of the creatures in the Encounter image.  They also began together, and parted, traveling a circular pathway to meet again, as the figures in the image do.
