Linda Foster
Born in the 1950’s, I’ve seen a lot of change, I’ve worn out a lot of dance shoes, I’ve fought for a lot of causes, and I’ve played a lot of roles. I create and perform.

Born at the start of the millenium, and part of the youngest generation of adult women, I grew up with the world wide web and a diversity of dance styles and culture, which shaped me as a person and a performer.

Associate Artist
Silvana Desira
A 50s baby boomer, I took my first dance class, learning the sinuous Tribal Fusion style, in my 50s. From there I leapt into contemporary dance, taking classes and performing on stage and for film. I’m intrigued by movement in all its forms and perform in various collaborative projects in London and beyond.
