Collaboration is vital. I love getting into the studio to work with both professional and non professional dance artists.

In addition the Creative Forum (CF) was formed in July 2023 as part of the Poe Saga’s R&D process. Meetings are generally held at Dance City, Newcastle. The Forum is a diverse collection of people in terms of age, background, sexual orientation, gender and ethnicity from varied walks of life, who have come together to interrogate:-

1. The theme(s) of The Poe Saga, Frankel’s latest dance & film project

2. Imbue the work with contemporary resonance through the discussion meetings and attendance at rehearsals and other events

3.  Ensure the project’s realisation by building alliances, advocating, and seeking & gaining funding

Chair. Dr Martyn Hudson, Senior Lecturer MA Cultural and Creative Management Northumbria University.

CF is keen to meet in other locations, broadening access. Contact us if you’re interested in any aspect of the Forum!
