SAW / STAITHE (2004-7)
Still from Staithe by Nikki Tomlinson & Lucy Cash
Staithe is a video distillation of a 3-year performance project, saw/sore/soar, looking at memory, habits and the nature of change. Filmed on Burnham Overy beach in Norfolk in 2005, it was later re-cut by artist Lucy Cash as a single-screen video. Earlier versions involved a performance operating as a duet between live and pre-recorded material. The original version was a 25min solo performed live with no film, and with sound by The Magnetic Fields and Blondie.
Staithe was shown in Dance & The Other curated by Joe Moran for The Place; at the Intimacy Across Visceral and Digital Performance symposium at Goldsmiths; Falling Wide's Outsider Dancing programme at Toynbee Studios; the Chisenhale Biennale curated by Richard Layzell and Alana Jelinek at Chisenhale Studios.
saw/sore/soar was shown in Resolution at The Place (2003); Still it Matters at Hoxton Hall; Hackney Empire, all in London (2004); Spring Collection at The Point, Eastleigh (2004); San Francisco Fringe Festival; Masdanza, Gran Canaria (2004); Sensitive Skin, Bonnington Gallery Nottingham (2005)
