FROCK

Stopgap Dance Company

Six striking dancers collide in an uplifting dance riot set to an exclusive art rock soundtrack by Hannah Miller of Moulettes. In this quirky dance piece, watch playful observations of the yesteryears explode into a punkish celebration of individuality and difference

Stopgap Dance Company

Frock is Stopgap Dance Company’s most recent outdoor work, starting creation in early 2019.

Alice joined Stopgap as a freelance dancer for the production of Frock in February 2019 and continues to perform this dance piece for the company nationally and internationally.

Alice was delighted to join the company after having already connected with the company for several years:

I was really excited to dig my teeth into this process and widen my movement vocabulary. All six of us as dancers are so unique in our movement style, it brings such an eclectic mix of texture and quality to the creation. Such an amazing experience to discover this piece with all involved and there’s always a vibrant and energetic atmosphere when in the studio.

What The Frock Are These Costumes?!

“Another element of outdoor work is that there’s no chance to go ‘offstage’. Being in character during the times I’m watching the other performers and not dancing myself brought questions to the front of my mind; What is my character thinking? How do they respond to what they see? Questions I have to constantly ask myself to keep my character active and alive during performances. And like the weather; my answers are forever changing.”
