The People Speak project The Inverse Apprentice is a creative entrepreneurship programme provoked by the TV show ‘The Apprentice’. Our format, in contrast to the TV programme, is led entirely by the participants – Tower Hamlets residents. The programme delivered in partnership with the local talent, business owners and entrepreneurs uses personal creativity, cooperation and diversity of thought as a framework to develop participants’ self worth and employability skills. The apprenticeship aims to raise aspirations of the participants by helping them to gain agency and practical tools to become local instigators of change responding to their community’s needs.

On touring Europe, making a new show each time, and learning their craft all the time. check the body language, how Dean touches J (her breast, knees, how they’re sitting).
JT: CHris is the more creative one with with a show in their own style
I would be scared to try anything new because I was afraid of hurting him.
CD: we had the blade though the hand, we had the blade through the head
4:40 on the question of the relationship off the ice CD says taking JT’s hand: we were going to make the announcement tonight but just before the programme we had a steaming row so we decided to put it off. <Audience laughs>
6:30 TW : how many more years can you go on?
7:17 song, TW: It’s a number one in Albania. Is that what you’re going ot do now?
JT <seriously>: This was his therapy after the car crash, he was very very bored, and he felt that the only thing he could do was to sing, and that’s what we did.
(Accident in ‘Dancing on ice”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKK6c_hd9Y8 )
10:12 CD: we wont take part in the olympics because everything we do in the routine is illegal
In dance you can’t touch this part of the body, you can’t spin, you can’t do this sort of lift. IT’s stricter, more contained, it’s ice dancing. And since then we���ve gone on to hold all those bits, and do all those buts and we enjoy doing it and we don’t want to let it go of it.
Interview 1995 (with Chris being late https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PIyV1xCyKs
They’ve written a book
Host: Chris is stuck in traffic. Mind you I think you’ll be able to dine out on that
JT: I am. I’m having such a hard time. He’s always the one who’s exactly on time: saying ‘you won’t be late, you won’t be late’. If anything it’s me who’s a little bit late’
When we received the MBE he actually told me the wrong time so that I could get the earlier, so i’d be actually on time.
H: Tell him to get his skates on.
1.13 - About the book:
H: It’s a wonderful insight to .. How does it feel that, you know(raises the book) here’s my life, up till now.
JT: we often thought that, you know, this is it, we had to pout it down in writing, we tried ot be as acutrate with everyting, trying ot be as open...because you know this is an account of our lives to date. WE wanted to take time. It actually took as about a year to when we started talking about it. And w e had written a book previously but it was up until 84, and it felt like we’ve done an awful lot since then as professionals and we also wanted to talk about ourselves as people. Eveeyrone is always asking about our relationship, how that works and how we spend so much time together, what’s it like, is it like brother and sisiter or like a marriage (face). It was hard, we dont really know but we tried to speak about iti n the book to see if people can understand that a little bit more.
h: I mean the speculation about that was unbelievable at one time. You laugh about that now?
JT: Yes, at the time it was very frightening and overwhelming, we didnt understand why peopel wanted to know that, information about our private lives and we thought that people will be interested in the actual skating. At the time it was frightening but we learnt to handle it. IT woudl be like:
H: it’s this crossover between sport and show business at the end of the day.
about the book - to everyone who want to knwo truth not hte mysths.
3.30 - Chris arrives (body language)
CD: THe traffic is against us this mornign.
JT: Anyway, I’m doing fine, I’m ding fine (she sits on him to cover him up)
skating , roller blading, skiing, worried abut breaking anything
5.02 H: 1994 Winte Olympics, you put yourselves through it, you put us all thorugh it, I think the viewing fugures were as high as the royal wedding or somethign like that. HAve you ever thought, why, why are we doing this, why are we putting ourselves through this
JT: Well, I think when we stepped on for te final performance, that moment of waiting, the tension is awful
Going on competitions gives usa chance to choreograph something new. It’s nice to work on new pieces.
Late Late Show 1995 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPkBMuXUUu4
2.00 H: I noticed you’ll be perfroming in Dublin on Friday 13th, Are you peolpe  s....
CD: It’s Jayne’s choice, she likes numbers like that
JT: I like 13. Like they say ‘unlucky for some’ so..I consider it lucky myself
Yo Yo MA: celoist: Bach Cello Suite #5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF5oY-_AT3s
Allemande: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF5oY-_AT3sy
Bach wanted to meet Handel. Here’s T&D choreography to Bach.
Labour of love, not for competition, for the beauty of the movement:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF5oY-_AT3sy
BBC - Face The Music - The Return of Torville and Dean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lF5oY-_AT3sy
Streets named after them, and Bolero Close
Honour Degrees from Nottingham University
1.15 - CD (saying a joke): What’s the definition of the intellectual’? Someone who can hear the William Tel Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger. Well let’s try this one shall we (hums Bolero)
1.35 Since then anxious questions have been prompted by (the art): surely this isnt sport. Is that art? HOw can they re-enter the Olympics.
1.48 Enter the olympics in Norway next year (1994). Their return was made possible due to the change of rules about the competing styles
2.50 They hired the ice rink (in Milton Keyns) for 4 hour a day 6 days a week to work on the stepr for Rumba and their 3 min free dance on which their comback will be judged.
3.20 CD: Each day w’d work on a section and the next day we’d double it ...then break it up again
5.00 (comments during perfecting a move)
5:35 JT: ‘We’ve used the video in the past quite a bit but we probably never used it this early on
9:03 - JT: He’s very forceful, very dominant, and if i was the same character we’d have too many clashes. But in a partnership you need somebody to be the driving force.
CD: And i think it’s part of what i do, i keep pushing. ANd ok, if i see a mistake or feel the mistake umm and if it is Jaynes Mistake, i’ll tell her. And if it’s mine I’ll tell her that she’s made a mistake too. (laughs)
JT: I’m pretty sort of easy going person, I’m very, usually placid and I need someone to fire me up, to get me going sometimes and he’s always liked it
10.45 JT: Of course I have a different rapport with Phil, my husband, when oyu meet someone you fall in love with .. there’s a magic element that attracts you to each other (Phil is a soudn engeneer from CHicago ,working with Genesis, JT tripps over the leaves - ‘I thought you’re supposed to be well coordinated’)
CD: about being in love with Jill (partner) and previous marriage break up (both ice skaters)Will you get married
11:45 CD: We knew it wouldnt work to work and be partners in live
14:52 Reneissance of dancing put back into skating (hence ‘Face The Music and Dance’)
15.00 - COMMERCIAL ASPECT: Agent / costs/ making 1 million punds if they do win, merchanduse, endorsements,very marketable comodities, they need to come back to hog the headlines
19:45 About wearing lycra and friend disapproval. You can get away with wearing anythign these days 20:30 about measuring the costume for Chris
21:10 It’s about steps and what our bodies are doing, they’re not so twisted.. its about the firs time a man to hold of a woman and started dancing wiht her instead on hi own.
22:00 Costumes from Jayne. You need to have 3 outfits. 1 for practices in character, looking like oyu could wear it. One you’re there you’re on display, on the first day of practice you need to show the judges, have all the bits right. Have flattering shape of the costume and the less material - the colder it is
22:50 - 2 ment (Chris & Trainer) talk about Jayne’s expression - storng but where did the coyness go. (and later) I love her expression when she does it. Her eyes are so big.
23:30 (during practicing) JT: Too Fast Too Fast.
CD: Don’t resist me one I started
24:!7 it’s about the presentation now: ‘it’s awkward. When I see Jayne’s arm is so stiff, looks very static to me
25:00 talking about Jayne’s impressions and directing her - how she should behave/ perform aka similar to when M instructs Nicholas in the performance.
25: 58 CD: ‘there’s a girl her who wasn’t born when we won our first championship.
JT: Really? Oh Dear.
26:25 JD: We’re really hapy wit hteh draw we got because alle the skater are doing the same pattern in the compulsory dance. It get’s like tram lines out there. Whereas the ice looks smooth to the person watching, to the person skating, it’s like getting caught on lines and other peopel’s edges - you can catch them and get into the groove and it can really throw you off balance27:20 PRACTICE/ talking about the movements, drawing the movement trajectory with a finger in the air - MOVEMENT 28:15 They create the intensity and electricity between them (29:10 Chris’ partner: Jayne is calm and Chris is nervous. That’s how it works. Because I’m in love with Chris I can tell by looking in his eyes whether the smile is forced or genuine 29:50 Applying make up, helping each other with it, trying to stay calm 32:40 MOVEMENT - Post Performance ritual

Christopher Dean and Jayne Torvill - ice dancers performing ‘Bolero’ at Sarajevo Olympics, 14th Feb 1984
‘Nowadays, with the rules of the competition, it’s quite a technical thing rather than a creative thing.
'The skaters have to include certain types of lifts, certain types of steps – none of which are contained in Boléro. So I don’t know how it would go down – we’d probably be breaking the rules,’ said Torvill.
'We did a lot of long lines and lyrical movements, and it was more about a passion than about being a technical exercise.
‘Everything moves on. But at the time, it [Bolero] was definitely the pinnacle. And a lot of people still hold that to be true of it as an artistic piece, a passionate and emotional piece.’

INTERVIEW FROM 2011 - BLENDING T&D// DIETRICH (fictional pop-band) // PRZYMIERSKA MORGAN (performing pair)
“Don’t sleep with your partner.”
“It’s not a job, it’s a passion,” adds her partner. “You constantly want to be creative and not repeat yourself. There’s the artistic side and the technical side, running hand in hand. So there’s a lot to be getting on with all the time.”
“You read an interview with somebody who claims ‘I had to work really hard for this,’ and you think…” she finishes the sentence with a quizzical eyebrow.
Dean is endearingly shy about explaining the wonder of continuing to skate..”
