Brayden has composed and produced an original cinematic world dance journey, with a prerecorded layer, with which they play over in live creation and looping, in changing combinations of viola, saxophone, piano, drums and singing. They draw inspiration from ancient melodies across time and place, in a fusion with neo-jazz improvisation.https://centre-music.com/ancient-fusionhttps://youtu.be/xulQNVHqKA8https://open.spotify.com/album/26WoUIjq1aFKorrjPAkfwe...https://www.instagram.com/ancientfusionmusic...https://centre-music.com/ancient-fusionDANCE Space principles, values and guidelines- Be clear, Be present No alcohol.-Consent is key Clear YES, & No. - Come as You are, judgment free space.- Respect yourself and respect others boundaries and
