What has been your experience working with The Falling Company?
Marissa and I have been working together in collaboration since 2014 originally meeting in Montreal. I have witnessed her growth as both a dancer and choreographer. After taking the lead in the Falling Company I continued to see growth from a personal practice, to a community focused approach.
Continuing my work with the Falling Company has allowed me the opportunity to grow as a sound designer, and challenge myself artistically. It has taught me the true meaning of collaboration, allowing me the space to learn how to give up control of the creative process. The Falling Company is a human focused endeavour that creates a safe environment for all participants involved.
