DANCE

Photo: Ballerina silkscreen print (detail)

I studied ballet and modern dance at susan town’s ACADEMY OF DANCING in kent from the age of five until my mid-teens. It was kept secret from almost everyone i knew through fear of ridicule and being ostracised

I enjoyed dancing, i guess - although it’s difficult To unpack. I was terrified of my dance teacher miss town, however i always appreciated how technically accomplished her teaching was

the lessons tought me discipline and provided the foundation for a physique that i have more or less kept and ENJOYED ever since

I was awarded this book, A History of Classical Ballet by Miss Town in 1985 and it means a lot to me as a link to that part of me and period of my life.
