Throwback Thursday: Vertical Dancers Forum 2018 Blank Canvas Lab Fidget Feet Artistic Director Chantal McCormick designed the Blank Canvas Lab as an opportunity for the seven Vertical Dance Forum choreographers to learn more about each other’s practice. They were mentored by director, teacher and performer Charlie Morrissey who was tasked with probing their various approaches to collaboration.  Twelve professional vertical dancers joined the VDF choreographers from across Europe and participated in a jam-packed week of creative research at three iconic locations: St John’s Castle and the Strand Hotel in the City of Limerick, as well as the stunning sea cliffs of The Burren in County Clare. Photo Note: Those tiny figures in orange on the cliff at the edge of the sea are Aeriosa's own Safety Director and Artistic Director, getting back to their rock-climbing roots in County Clare, where Julia Taffe's Irish grandmother was born!
