"Bridget.. made me feel comfortable, listened to, and my ideas and questions were met with a real openness. As a dance artist early in their career, Bridget was firstly able to help me explore and work out some of the practicalities in my project, the "how"... Secondly, Bridget helped me to unravel some of the philosophical elements in my project, the “why”... I learnt a lot from this period of working with Bridget, but what I found most useful moving forwards is that I feel more confident in my decision-making and abilities as an artist."
