AMY HAS ALSO PERFORMED WORK BY JOHN ROSS AND HENRI OGUIKE AS WELL AS WORKING WITH JOSE AGUDO AND JO MEREDITH.
I am a contemporary dance artist, based in Edinburgh, working throughout Scotland. I work mainly as a dancer and movement collaborator but also as an actor, facilitator and maker in several roles. Although moving is my work it's also my fun, meeting and moving with people is my favourite thing. I love the creative process, I find I thrive through the journey of making, questioning and exploring movement, people and voices. Much of the performing work I do involves delivering workshops to communities where I have regularly been a facilitator.
My ongoing practice threads through interests in engineering, finding/feeling joy in being a moving life with agency and curiosity, satisfaction, the space we’re in, decision making and desires.

JJG DANCE - THE BOX - 2017-2019
The Box completed it's national tour in 2019. The Box is a contemporary dance/theatre piece that explores the impact depression can have on an individual in a way that is innovative and creative but accessible. Through movement and playful use of text, the work explores the physical aspects of depression/mental health issues, how our society responds as well as the idea of confinement. The Box project also involves the delivery of ‘Mind to Move Community Workshops’ for those with experience of mental health. So far we have worked with dancers and non dancers from ages 12-65+ Company Website - Julia James-Griffiths Trailer - www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSkjLVtiUGI |

JJG DANCE - THE BOX | A GLIMPSE - 2018-2019
The Box | A Glimpse is a short dance theatre piece based on the full-length piece of The Box. The work looks into the subject of depression and the impact it can have on an individual. The intention behind creating this work is to enable The Box to be taken to more platforms and venues, as well as unconventional spaces, that don't cater for full-length works or productions. My role within this work involves moving, acting and audience participation. |

BARROWLAND BALLET- POGGLE 2018 (COVER FOR CHINA TOUR)
'A warm hearted, sensory dance theatre piece with live music, clapping rhythms and comedy throughout in an imaginatively changing world that the children have the chance to explore.' Amy joined the company at the end of the tour in China to cover the title role for an injured dancer. It involved dancing, singing, interacting with the audience and learning a show in a very short space of time.

IN THE MAKING - (IV) 2019 (III) 2018 SWINGS AND ROUNDABOUTS 2017
'We are a dancer led initiative - a shifting assemblage of dancers and other artists - a structure for unpredictable encounters.' In the Making is an experiment around processes of making, multi-authorship and shared leadership. It is not a realisation of an individuals vision but of many visions, a polyphonic medley - making space for many voices. We are cultivating a self-sustaining approach to support and nourish our individual practises in the company of others - fostering collaboration and creative co-operation - working it out together.
