Performance Artists

I am a dancer, choreographer and teacher specialising in creative, contemporary dance. I have delivered workshops in diverse settings with all ages: from babies to the elderly and everything inbetween. My practice emphasises creativity in choreographic processes, finding ways to form people’s unique choices and ways of moving into performance work.

I am particularly interested in intergenerational dance, bringing people of different ages together to discover and celebrate their differences and similarities in creating choreography. I also have extensive experience as a trainer, project manager and consultant for dance in education projects. My choreographic work has been commissioned for dance festivals in London, Brighton, Oxford and now Falmouth where I have been based since 2008.

Robin teaches Afro-Brazilian percussion workshops, group classes and one-to-one tuition. Workshops can be taught in tandem with other visual and performance disciplines e.g. dance/costume design, facilitating a multi-discipline ‘carnival’ approach.

Benefits of learning percussion in a group environment include, co-ordination skills, group responsibility/interdependence, numeracy and time keeping, musicality through rhythmic development; learning historical and sociological origins of carnival music forms.

Robin learnt his craft in Salvador, Rio and Recife in Brazil, as well as in the UK under some of the most well respected ‘mestres’.

Robin has a current  CRB check and Public Liability Insurance
