Odorama 4 Amy Toner's choreography, expressing the relation between dance and scents, 2 februari 2016 - expressing the relation between dance and scents, 2 februari 2016 Odorama february 11. Whether derived from nature, or chemically constructed, odourant molecules have the ability to profoundly effect our behaviour, emotions and associations. At Odorama we’ll actively engage with our senses and explore everything that reaches and effects the nose. We will consider olfactory history and design that is experimental and challenging. And introduce you to the fragrance as a work of art in itself. Margherita Soldati

Amy Toner is a dance artist, choreographer, teacher, and facilitator. Her practice is committed to making the arts accessible to all, where she believes that anyone regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, and disability should have access and experience the transformative nature of the arts. She is passionate about bringing people together through creativity and physically, where she believes that dance is a fun and therapeutic mode of expression, which encourages intimate interaction and communication. Her practice is concerned with composing sensory situations in collaboration with the seemingly less significant senses of smell, taste, and touch.

 

 

Her choreographic work spans dance, theatre, installation, live art, and often involves work with diverse communities. Situated in the realm of contemporary dance, socially engaged practice, live performance, and perfume, Amy Toner (UK) creates performances that are multi-sensory, site-specific, and interdisciplinary.

Amy’s choreographic work has been shown nationally and internationally including; Royal Academy of Arts, Brighton Dome, The Stedelijk Museum, and the Towner Art Gallery.

She graduated with a BA (Hons) Degree in Contemporary Dance from the University of Chichester, before obtaining an MA in Contemporary Dance from the London School of Contemporary Dance.
