“Turvey seems to be able to produce work which pays homage to a cherished space…..dance which remains relevant and thought-provoking’ Thom Shaw, Leeds Guide.

Dance Projects

Choreography in unusual places has brought exciting performances to surprised audiences.

Picnic at Armley Mills

Performed in the grounds and building of the Museum at Armley, Picnic was a stunning visual feast with live music, 6 dancers in Edwardian underwear and a sulky angel. The surreal humour and the dancers' lively engagement, made Picnic an unexpected experience in this historic site and used the location to generate a magical dance performance.

‘Gerry Turvey can truly master space and she has a unique ability to draw the audience into the experience of a place.’ June Gersten Roberts. Film maker and audience member.
