BAMBOLE DANCE COMPANY
The company of doll dancers was founded in 2021.
The manager/ administrator of Bambole is Julien Eaglet.
Bambole dancers have a variety of different stylistic training and backgrounds. Tina Giuffre began her training in ballet and then encountered contemporary dance which inspired her more. She learned Martha Graham technique and still likes floor work, but prefers the Merce Cunningham technique especially as a basis for choreography. Shannon and Belinda are classically trained dancers but are keen to explore a broader vocabulary. David Girando is equally at home in ballet or contemporary. Carolina Papa trained in ballet and contemporary techniques. Tony Chaumier is an innovator and is rapidly gaining a reputation in the doll dance world. The company was excited to see some old videos of Dancework from the 1970s and 1980s. So much so that they decided to revise some of the works, with the consent of the original founders of the London based company which ceased touring in the early 1980s.
Bambole Dance Company uses a logo created by Irene Hall for Dancework in the late 1970s/ early ’80s.
