This is what Metamorphosis means to our associates over the years.
“Something was planted in my heart and soul, which ensured that I will always NEED to dance…” Shari Rhyner, RAD Teacher at The Caribbean School of Dancing.
“I have such beautiful memories of taking Metamorphosis to dance in London on the banks of the Thames and the sun coming out just as we took the stage. Of Sonja Dumas teaching Caribbean Folk to British students and making them feel like they were there in sweet T&T…” Gill Merry, I.S.T.D Examiner (UK).
“In reflecting on this, I can speak for us both when I express gratitude for an opportunity enriched by freedom, creative potential and respect for our efforts. That’s rare enough anywhere that it remains a benchmark in our working lives.” Mark Lyndersay on his creative collaboration with Peter Shim and the Metamorphosis Dance Company in its early years. Mark Lyndersay, photographer; Peter Shim, graphic designer and artist.
“Suffused with enthusiasm, possibility and the boundless energy of the Company, the photographs speak of a time of beginnings and possibility, something that the Company has fulfilled over all of the years since with quality and resilience.” Mark Lyndersay.
“…always working with the central idea of movement, translating the dancer’s eternal desire to defy gravity and the limits of their bodies into something that reflected that defiant challenge within the constraints of two-dimensional paper.” Mark Lyndersay.
Metamorphosis seeks to:
- Bridge the gap local dancers navigate from dance class to professional performance.
- Facilitate young dancers’ metamorphosis into able professionals in preparation for careers all over the world, in the face of a local industry that lacks the necessary infrastructure.
- Promote “Caribbean-ness” as a valuable element of expression, understanding that what makes our performers unique should be nurtured and developed.
- Promote a greater appreciation of Dance in the wider public.
- Aid charitable causes by making live performances and workshops available at no cost when appropriate, and to create opportunities to bring dance into the community.
Specifically, Metamorphosis seeks to address the need for the following:
• More professional facilities – to provide studio space to accommodate training, creation and rehearsal.
• More touring and collaborative opportunities.
