Sheffield's Third Bite Dance (the University's resident group of older performers) are

mostly in our 60s and 70s, with a range of bodies and movement backgrounds, and

James Pett and Travis Clausen-Knight - PCK Dance - are intensely trained artists

who have performed internationally, from the Bolshoi to Sadlers Wells. So when

PCK made us a dance and even shared their stage with us at the Drama Studio one

wintry weekend last year, it was transforming. PCK's generosity, setting us a piece

full of flow and shifting patterns, and their trust that the piece would work with, not

despite, our idiosyncrasies of age and experience, inspired us.

PCK Dance are on tour again and this November, after they have performed their

new work, The Panic Room, at the University Drama Studio, James and Travis will

be working with TBD for four days, developing a new dance for us to keep. We are

looking forward to feeling stretched and empowered again by these two beautiful

dance artists.
