"Dora mentored me for several sessions during the creation of my project 'Footprint'. I found her to be both supportive, as well as giving provocations around the intention of my movement and text which proved invaluable to the direction of the work. Definitely in my next round of funding applications I'll be including mentoring time with Dora again."

Penny Chivas, Dance Artist, Glasgow

I was surprised at how much dance material we could produce out of what seemed like so little and in such a short time!”
