Eve Walker is interested in humanity and the human experience. Through a culmination of influences, including experience with Choreographer Theo Clinkard, her Mentor for her PRTP, ideas of witnessing and being witnessed have become forefront and drawn her attention within her own practice. Simply observing an artist fully immersed in their work is inherently interesting to her and demands her attention as a witness.

Also in the reverse, as a performer, feeling busy with her tasks and work whilst knowing her experience is witnessed by another person feels liberating and empowering over her own artistic curiosities and choices. Her practice and values are solidly centred around care, in the aim of creating optimum conditions in dance for performance and dance making. Working with care in mind feels ongoing and is something she strives towards in her everyday practice in collaboration with other artists and towards herself.

Eve is a graduate of the MA Dance: Performance programme at LCDS, where she was a member of the inaugural Cohort 01. During the programme she worked with project leaders such as Theo Clinkard, Jenna Jalonen, Hannes Langolf, Paleta, Benjamin Jonsson, AE Company (Aoi Nakamura & Esteban Lecoq), Edivaldo Ernesto, Horacio Macuacua, Jozef Frucek and Alexandra Reynolds under the course leadership of Tom English, Tina Afiyan Breiova and Dr Andrew Sanger and working closely with individual mentor Theo Clinkard.

A key moment of learning for me has taken place during our independent unit 3 of self directed study. This time has acted as a necessary bridge between education and professional life and I feel very grateful to transition to freelance work with the support of The Place.
