Gerry collaborates with art galleries, where dance speaks to art through an interpretation of the exhibition. She uses the art works, sculptural forms and visual images as stimulus to develop ideas for movement.

The dance work in galleries continues the theme of making dance in unusual places, taking image and form as a starting point. The dancers then become an integral part of the gallery space, and visitors get more than they bargained for!

Turveyworld has been witnessed at Whitworth Manchester, Leeds, Burnley, Stoke on Trent, Huddersfield galleries and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, as well as IZIKO National Art Gallery, South Africa and The Stanley & Audrey Burton Gallery, University of Leeds.

Comments from workshop participants:

‘I found dancing in the art gallery spaces incredible! Dancing and working in the space and in amongst all the artworks seemed to heighten my senses and appreciation of everything.’

‘The work enabled me to explore all the artwork and gallery spaces much more thoroughly. I'd definitely recommend the experience to others!’
