The choreographer
Lizzi Kew-Ross trained at Roehampton and London Contemporary Dance School, graduating with a B.Ed and M.A in choreography. Her credits include choreographing musicals for The Arts Theatre in Cambridge, commissions from Yorkshire Arts and a TV dance film. She also works as an actress and singer. She is involved in training dancers at Laban, The Evening School, The Young Place at The Place, Birkbeck College and Guildhall opera students. She has taught physical theatre at Arts Ed in Chiswick and leads inservice training for dancers and teachers.

'Movement shares many of the same concerns as fine art and architecture - space, rhythm and time. The immersive, contemplative environment that Lever's work creates at Wallspace, is a fertile place for a movement response. Taking textures on the surface of the hands in the drawings as a metaphor, the movement explores the mapping of our lives, the journeys each of us take as individuals and the meeting points along the way.'
