Dora Frankel
I'm a choreographer, educator and independent dance artist and trained at Rambert School of Ballet & The Benesh Institute. I hold an MA in Choreography and created my first professional work Images for Two in 1977. My work encompasses performance, teaching, choreography, movement direction, course development, project management and producing, here & abroad, mostly America & Scandinavia and I have created/part created 67 works, often with live music & performing in unusual settings. My first dance film Touch the Beast was made in January 2019 with filmmaker Andy Wood and my first collaboration with composer Peter Coyte was in 2012 for Durham Brass Festival. We went on to cretare The Unfolding Sky: Turner in the North and last year created Figures in a Floating Landscape part 2 of what will be trilogy of JMWTurner inspired works.
