Jill Crovisier joined Tom on The Breakfast Show this morning to talk about her practice as a choreographer and dancer and her new performance for young audiences, Sahasa, which will tour venues in Luxembourg in the coming weeks.
Since 2007 Jill has worked as a professional dancer and choreographer. As well as practicing these disciplines, she is a videographer, director and sound designer. She currently tours with various international dance companies as well as creating performances with her own company JC movement production.
Sahasa is her latest piece created for young audience. The title comes from the Nepalese for 'Courage,' which it takes as it's central theme. The performance brings together elements of parkour, freestyle football and contemporary dance and features three performers. In creating Sahasa, Lynn Jung, Sven Fielitz, and Isaiah Wilson, who each specialise in one of the disciplines respectively worked with Jill to find connections between their practices and adapt to performing together in one choreographed piece.
The production was created in collaboration with various Luxembourgish cultural institutions and will embark on a tour of the country, performing to young audiences at Rotondes, Cape Ettelbruck, Trois C-L, Trifolion in Echternach and Opderschmelz in Dudelange over the course of late-April and early-May with more performances taking place in November at Rotondes.
