Presented by VCA MA Choreography as Research

Dora is a Greek name meaning "god's gift", and Diaspora means "to scatter" or "dispersion". What happens when four choreographers from four different walks of life are in one place to collaborate? How does this convey and embody something we as a collective experience? Through a multi-modal exploration of pole, live-cinema and inter-cultural choreographic explorations, we come together to create something unexpected.
