Since 2014 Collective Endeavours has focused on group music/dance improvisation with residencies at CCA Creative Lab, CCA Intermedia Gallery, The Work Room and Dance Base.
The current group includes Solène Weinachter, Alex South, Nerea Gurrutxaga, Aya Kobayashi, Molly Danter, Beth Edwards, Dylan Read, Jer Reid and Elena Enei.
Collective Endeavours has taught as a group at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, been taught and collaborated with Rosalind Crisp and performed at the Dance international Glasgow and Tectonics festivals and in other venues as varied as proscenium theatres, old churches, community centres, an old swimming pool, a town square in the Basque country and a hardened cow shit and straw floor in a French music festival.
Lots of different people have added their energy and insights to the groups practice sessions and performances over the years including Joan Clevillé, Audrey Rogero, Luke Sutherland, Catriona McKay, Joseph Quimby, Amy Hollinshead, Brian Hartley, Rafe Fitzpatrick, Una MacGlone and Marta Masiero. It wouldn’t still be happening without what you have brought over the years.
