WGDT aim to challenge traditional notions of dance aesthetic. As a developing company we are constantly experimenting with new ideas, and so our current repertoire is versatile, interesting, with both artistic and commercial appeal.
WGDT believe that two heads are always better than one and that collaboration is at the heart of creativity. WGDT has been priviledged to collaborate with numerous artists from a range of disciplines within past projects.

‘Limited No More’ (July, 2009)
Rachel Sparks’ debut choreography for WGDT. Whilst recovering from a knee operation, Rachel was unable to dance for nine months. This piece uses movements that Rachel could not perform during the time of her injury, and explores the rollercoaster of emotions she felt whilst unable to dance.

‘Shoe Victims’ (March, 2009)
Choreographed by Melanie Ward in collaboration with film maker Michael McGinley. Melanie originally choreographed this piece for stage in 2005 after reading a newspaper article about a woman who had her toes trimmed to fit into a pair of high heeled shoes. This piece explores how shoes can alter the line of the body to create interesting movement material. Working with film, enabled Melanie to approach this piece from a fresh perspective by looking at camera angles and perspective.

'Bhangra Dance Theatre' (Dartford Indoor Mela, 2008)
A collaboration between WGDT and 4x4 Bhangra Dance Company. This piece explores how Bhangra Dance and Contemporary Dance can be fused together.

'Drop beats not cats!' (Fuse Medway Festival and Hextable Dance Centre, 2008)
Choreographed by Melanie Ward. This is a light-hearted piece which looks at how people behave when they experience live music and is inspired by modern culture and fashion.

'Potato Eaters' (Hextable Dance Centre, The Brook Theatre, Electric Circus, 2008)
Choreographed by Melanie Ward. This piece was inspired by Van Gough's painting. It is a dark and meloncholly piece which explores themes of physical weight, emotional burden and the mundane.
