Chris Rattray for Sauce Magazine recently interviewed Rhiannon about dancing in the work…
After successfully auditioning for Uncover This, Rhiannon has learnt a lot about herself. Rhiannon explains, “I’ve learnt I’m a lot braver than I ever thought! Part of Stompin’s process is to collaborate in developing choreography between the staff and performers. As dancers, we workshop ideas, present them, explain them and put a lot of ourselves into them before the group. It’s a vulnerable, risky process to put yourself out there like that. [the show] is about uncovering the things in our lives we normally like to keep private: the awkward, embarrassing and guilt-ridden. The inspirations for the choreography, and even the advertising material, came from us anonymously confessing these things. Luckily the Stompin crew are really supportive, and as dancers we get on well. So the challenges start a long time before the show does.”
