One of the many events taking part from the 7th - 15th July was Dance Means. Dance Means was an exhibition in Spa Green (opposite Sadlers Wells), which was curated by Hannah Anderson-Ricketts. Throughout the park there were quotes from individuals about what dance means to them. I was fortunate enough to have my words amongst other quotes. In addition to the quotes, there were stunning pictures by Irven Lewis. Whilst the photographs weren't the most striking I have ever seen, Lewis had carefully chosen the location of the photographs. Each photograph was taking in a truly stunning landscape.
My favourite quote of the exhibition was by Yolanda Mercy, who wrote that "Dance to me is a way of expressing my inner emotions without actually vocalising it". For me this truly summarises the beauty of dance. It is the universal art form. It allows a person to express themselves where words just don't exist.
