Amelia Holdsworth, Rambert School dancer
My guest is Amelia Holdsworth, a talented contemporary dancer at the beginning of her career.
From the age of 16 Amelia trained at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance. Whilst there she worked with choreographers like; Martin Lawrence, Mark Baldwin and Sisters Grimm. After graduating last year she joined Emergence, a dance company created by Joss Arnott. She is now working towards an MA in Dance Performance and Professional Practice.
Amelia talks to me about:
- Life at Rambert School - and why she went there.
- Auditioning for companies after graduation.
- Why one inch of height made all the difference at an audition!
- Being in the Emergence dance company.
- The pieces she performed on tour with Emergence (see videos below).
- Her hopes for the future - despite the virus.
