FOLK DANCE

FOLK DANCE (2008)

Folk Dance was a performance for an audience of between two and six, influenced by the circularity, harmony and ritual often associated with folk traditions. A mix of live and recorded dance, including a series of super8 films featuring friends dancing to Tom Waits Lie to Me, a film of sheep on the South Downs and a live performance threading between these images and influences. Much of the movement happens within arms' reach of the audience.

Developed and presented at La Caldera (Barcelona); Pen Pynfarch (Wales) and Clarence Mews (London) and with the participation of Sebastian Baczkiewicz, Elizabeth Drown and Frances Scott.
