Bush Hartshorn/ UK
After a long and distinguished career as a truck driver, Bush graduated from Dartington College of Arts in 1982 with a degree in Theatre Language. From that time onwards Bush has pursued a career as a community artist, dramaturge, performer , theatre programmer and artistic director in UK, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland and now Denmark where he is the Artistic Director of Dansehallerne Copenhagen. In 2009 he qualified as a coach in Relational Dynamics which has informed his work in mentoring dance artists. This has all been underpinned by a lifelong commitment to Liverpool Football Club.
I have been interested in the development of young artists since I was one myself, which now spans over 30 years. In 2009 I qualified as a Relational Dynamics coach. I found many of the techniques and principals of coaching to be extremely relevant in the process of mentoring young choreographers through attempts to make THEIR best work. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with these three young women and found their enthusiasm and commitment quite contagious. I hope that you to enjoy and appreciate their hard work that comes to its final fruition.
