WOMAN - THE AVEBURY CYCLE
4 x 4 Day Blocks. Women only.
​
Held close to the ancient sites of Avebury in Wiltshire, UK - The Avebury Cycle is designed for women who walk a creative path and offers an open, breathable structure on an ongoing basis.
​
The dance cycle follows the pattern of a continual spiral rooted in the earth year. Turning on the wheel, a dance will change its theme and focus to echo the rhythms of the season, a woman's life cycle and that of a dancer's own creative / personal story.
Intricately layered, in time and in tune, this is our structure. The boat to carry the journey.
*With care, WOMAN can translate outside of Avebury, provided land and venue meet requirements.
