Ambient Dance / a grounding philosophy for daily life
What does it mean to be a dancer when you aren't dancing for work? What if dance could be something you carry with you, rather than something you have to go somewhere to do?
Across this one-hour session, Billy Maxwell Taylor will invite us to explore how dance might live beyond the studio, the stage and the structures of employment. Through journaling prompts, meditative invitations and conversation, Billy will share his practice of Ambient Dance, a movement philosophy developed through his own experience of dance, performance, travel and everyday life.

We’ll explore how we might:
• stay connected to our identity as dancers, even in the spaces between jobs and projects
• find dance and creativity in the everyday, from commuting and cooking to gardening and simply noticing
• think differently about how we invite audiences into our work and what choreography can be
• consider how performance spaces might offer moments of slowness and contemplation amidst burnout, overstimulation and environmental crisis
• develop small practices that help us sustain ourselves and our relationship with dance.
This is an invitation to slow down, reflect and get curious about where dance lives in your own life and practice.
The final 15 minutes will be an open discussion, time for questions and thoughts.
Ambient Dance was first developed during Billy’s MA in Expanded Dance Practice at London Contemporary Dance School and has continued to evolve through collaborative work supported by Arts Council of Wales, Wales Arts International, Swindon Dance, NDC Wales and community organisations in the UK, Japan and Taiwan.
