Artist Statement
By tapping into the deep knowledge and experience of the body, dance can bring great joy and profound experiences. As a creative artist, I find pleasure in facilitating myself and others to find our unique response and expression in relation to space, context, ideas and each other. My work focuses on a freedom of play and facilitating risk-taking in a supportive environment. Living in Cornwall I enjoy opening the boundaries of who can dance, choreograph, research, and where dance takes place.
“A mature and consummate performer who is open to the most challenging of settings and processes. Lois brings a rare openness and honesty to the work. She grounds herself in authenticity and is thus able to perform with an absorbing presence, steeped in the knowledge of her art form. An empathetic and subtle performer who reads a context with clarity and precision.”
