What people say about Two Can Do

The Two Can Do performance reflected life, the exploration we do through our journeys and the connectivity we have with others. It’s an important performance to experience because for a moment you are taken away from the hustle and bustle of the fabricated reality and you reconnect with your inner self.

Everyone’s response will be unique to them, so Two Can Do becomes both a personal and liberating experience. By the end of the performance I felt like I had witnessed something so vulnerable but with a quiet strength that left me in awe of the minds and bodies involved. Two Can Do is a rare gem.

I do not have much experience of Dance being a scientist (!) but I could not take my eyes of the performance at Two Can Do! It was mesmerizing and inspiring. To see the commitment of the two dancers gave me an insight into the world of dance which I wouldn’t normally be exposed to.1 response

What people say about Bianca

B is an amazing artist that works across disciplines. She is extremely talented, gives everything 100%, works with such integrity and has an incredible creative process that is inspiring to work alongside. She is a great colleague, a true friend, she’s always pushing herself to learn more about her art form and ways to express her art form and she is just really special in every single way. She makes great work. 

Bianca is empowerment and connection. After graduating I got the chance to join Bianca and an international team of female creatives and this experience allowed me to figure out who I wanted to be professionally and what were the skills I needed to have to contribute to the performing arts sector. Bianca was a true mentor and also friend. I always felt that I was a part of a safe space where I could learn, grow and most importantly, be myself. After my experience working with Bianca I feel that I am a better team player, able to manage my priorities and I always come back to the mission of becoming a better professional, but also a better human. My best experience and memory working with Bianca was organizing the B. Create. Symposium in 2020 and getting the chance to perform with the team. That is something that is always on my mind. 

Bianca has contributed so much to my life in so many ways. Particularly when it comes to dance and the performance element of dance as well. So Bianca has created so many opportunities for me to perform alongside her in the work Two Can Do and that has just been a joy and so much fun and such a learning experience as well. The work that we collaborated on together became a way of life for both of us so even things that would happen throughout the creative process were also very much alive in our own personal lives at the same time. 

So this is really hard because there are so many but I think one that stands out for me would be ‘the journey is the goal and the goal is the journey’. This has always been a huge part of my experience of working with B and also just developing as a dance artist myself with this in mind. So that’s been very enriching for me and also I would have to say that it’s really beautiful as well how Bianca can remind you to check in with yourself and to give you the tools to be able to do this in a really great way. I’ll be forever grateful for those tools. Thanks Bianca. 

Bianca for me is an amazing woman, artist, soul and she really helped me a lot in my life and professional career. I think it was the very first time I jumped from being a student into being my own independent self. I’ve received mainly the idea that I can achieve what I dream of. A lot of it has been exploring the idea of working independently and this is now part of my normal job and my normal life so it has been a really good transition for me to work with Bianca. A good thing I learned from B is that I don’t apologize for what I want or for what I deserve. So thank you B. 

The way B came into my life was definitely like a universe-stars-aligning type of thing. The timing could not have been better for me, as I was finally having the space and time to figure myself out really. And there is nothing B is better at than giving time and space and support. She has really a special gift in that way. All of my work in the arts has been centered around supporting artists, supporting others, but working with B finally gave me a space where, yes I was supporting her in the work that I was doing, but I was receiving that support back tenfold in every area of my life. I was given the space to bring my full self to the table.

I know B both professionally and personally as a friend. I have taken her yoga classes and her Full Moon workshops. These experiences have allowed me first to come out with a sense of peace and relaxation, but also to see things in a different perspective, to check in with myself about how I’m feeling and to process these feelings. Working with B is always a great experience and I highly recommend it. 

Where to begin … I’ve received many things from working with Bianca. I suppose one of those things would be pure joy. It’s always been a pleasure to work alongside her. Another one of those things would have been inspiration. So it’s always been a very inspiring journey also. I’ve also received so much knowledge. When Bianca works in a creative process she draws from many different areas and brings all of this into the creative process and so it’s always changing, it’s always growing, it’s always developing. So I received a huge amount of knowledge and then have been lucky enough to be able to embody that knowledge both physically and mentally which has been super.
