Weekly Update!

Two weeks until Tavaziva break for Christmas and it is all systems go in the office and studio! We have all got our creative thinking caps on this week, deciding what our next fundraising event will be for the administration staff! We have got a huge amount of pressure from the amazing success from our last fundraising event the ‘Sponsored Drum’ with £965.61 raised in total, which will all go towards the cost of live music for our Spring 2012 Tour of ‘Sensual Africa’! We have been brainstorming ideas, some which might work and others which may be a tad silly... such as; a baked bean bath, sponsored hop in a Santa suit, a bake off and a sponsored silence! The four of us are setting our sights high and hoping to raise as much as we can, so watch this space to hear about our next event!

Competitive spirit is also running high in the Tavaziva Office as this week will see the winner of our Christmas card competition! The card will to be sent out to all of our supportive audiences and those of you on our mailing list, so look out for our festive message and card! The Christmas Intensive is still running from 20th, 21st, 22nd December; be immersed in the company’s signature style, through a technique class, learning of repertoire and creative sessions. This is great way to push your body to the limit before the Christmas break! To book a place please email admin@tavazivadance.com an experience not to be missed! Christmas has also arrived in the Tavaziva Dance office with our glittery desk decorations and tiny well decorated tree!

Meanwhile in the studio the dancers and Bawren have nearly completed the first half of ‘Sensual Africa’ and the dancers seem to be buzzing with enthusiasm over the new material. We also have musician Douglas Thorpe (Mad Dog Theatre) confirmed to play live percussion at selected performances for the Spring 2012 Tour. For more information go to our Tour page at www.tavazivadance.com  to see which venues will have live music!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my third week in the Tavaziva Dance office and look forward to sharing with you the exciting decisions and goings on within the Company next week!
