Ms Loretta Yurick:

One of our outreach programmes was called, Nature Moves. Through that programme, we worked in schools for a long time. In a number of primary schools we worked with environmentalists and brought the children outside and highlighted their senses. We then went back into the studio and we worked with them on creating a dance that was inspired by nature. There is no lack of ideas in terms of how professional dancers can express inspiration, movement and creativity. We have spoken a great deal about dance. Tapping the creativity of each individual within our art form is something I feel very passionate about. I have seen it happen. It is amazing when one turns that key and it affects everybody's life.

We have been approached by various organisations to train volunteers to do what we do. I am challenged by this idea because we are successful on the basis that we are professionals who have a history of making work and touring work. Someone who does not have that tool box cannot do that.
