LA Across Connections
Across Connections began in 2011 as a long-distance collaboration between YDP and Pennington Dance Group.
Exploring the choreographic challenge of working on separate continents, artistic directors Yolande Yorke-Edgell and John Pennington initially exchange ideas and movement via phone conversations, email and video before bringing their companies together to create in the studio.
Yolande and John share a deep connection from their years in the Lewitzky Dance Company and draw upon this history to create work that crosses continents and borders.
