18-19 & 24-26 September
This residency is a period of research towards a new work, utilising scores written while exploring how to work and create around full time caring responsibilities.
These scores started as ways into creativity. During this residency Amy will explore their potential as choreographic tools. The inquiry of this research is sensory load, considering the ebb and flow of a sensory experience from internal to external to further then back again.
Amy will explore how bodies are or are not equipped to deal with this, when sensory load is essential and when it is detrimental. The residency will be split with Amy’s child being present during some of the working time. Having created these tools while parenting, Amy will continue to explore caregiving and nurturing as a catalyst or strategy for making.
Also, what better way to create sensory overload than trying to work with a one year old in the room…

About Amy Robertson
Amy works mainly as a dancer and movement collaborator throughout Scotland, work credits include; Al Seed Productions, Curious Seed, Tess Letham, Rob Heaslip Dance, Bridie Gane and Mark Murphy for the BBC. As a performer, much of Amy’s work has involved voice work alongside movement, this is also an interest for Amy while making.
Amy’s personal practice is improvisation based with thoughts on mechanics, place/space and imagination. Before training in dance, Amy started with studying engineering, she is still very much with this way of thinking about bodies, movement and space and it continues to inform her practice.
