"Infertility is a contemporary style piece that’s based on a true story that’s personal to me. I have chosen 6 dancers from level 3 that I feel will portray the journey that my parents have been through when trying to conceive a child. It shows the different stages of being devastated when being unsuccessful time upon time. The dynamics of the dance portray the love between a couple, the patience they had to endure along with the frustration, hurt and the pain of constant failure. Mum and Dad were desperate for a family, a baby to love unconditionally, to watch grow, make new memories, the more they wanted this the further away their dreams felt.... drifting into the distance..... time passing by.......still nothing.  The world of science and biology became a whole new world.... opened so many doors, gave so many options but never comforting, never 100% assured. When going through the first stages of IVF mum and dad came to the conclusion of adopting as IVF wasn’t working. When they stopped thinking science, biology kicked in..... natural procreation occurred. This is where a miracle happened and they found out they were successful in creating not one baby but two. They felt like they were the luckiest alive and the love and support they have for each other is something I only dream of having. Throughout this piece you will see the pure emotion from the dancers as they go through each step of the journey. My parents are my inspiration and I can’t thank them enough for the support they have given both me and my twin sister."
