SIDONIE
CAREY-GREEN
Originally from Maidstone, Kent, Dr Sidonie Carey-Green moved to Plymouth in 2011 to complete a BA in Dance Theatre, graduating with a First Class Degree and the School Prize for Outstanding Development in Dance Theatre. In 2015 she gained a Master’s degree in Creative Practice with Distinction from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, which gave her the opportunity to focus on film as a key aspect of her artistic practice.
Sidonie’s practice lies in the realms of dance, film and creative practice; she specialises in Contemporary dance and has also directed several dance films, including a commission by Channel 4’s Random Acts. Sidonie works predominantly within site specific projects and is particularly interested in the disruption of fixed identities through working with new technologies. She has recently gained a PhD from Royal Holloway University of London which investigated this area of study through practice .
Sidonie works as a teacher and practitioner across Kent and Surrey, teaching for performance and technique both in youth companies, adult and University contexts.
Sidonie teaches contemporary dance technique, choreography, dance film, and embodied practice. Her practice stems from release technique, with an emphasis on weight transference, harnessing power from the ground, and strength in fluidity and breath.
Sidonie believes that every body can move, and promotes open spaces for anyone's embodiment to thrive. Within her work she explores the idea of the surface of the body becoming a site for the shifting concept of home.
