photography & film in relation to dance

Presented by Keith Money – the much-published British writer, artist, and photographer (who was born in Devonport, actually) – a selection of key photographs of Margot Fonteyn, Rudolf Nureyev, and other stars from the Royal Ballet during its glory days in the 1960s, plus two excerpts from his 1969 documentary film about Fonteyn. This will include rare colour footage of her in an extract from Gayaneh. Copies of Keith’s fourth Fonteyn book, Margot Assoluta, can also be purchased for signing at this session.

Left and Right

Spinning Sun presents their exuberant new work in June 2009. This dance is a grand collaboration between Choreographer Ann Dewey, writer Jo Randerson and Musician/composer Charlotte Rose. Dancing in the work are Liz Kirk, Julie van Renen, Geoff Gilson and Sarah Baron.

Set and costumes have been knitted by a team of 25 knitters dotted around the globe and are an absolute textural treat.

Left and Right is a feast for the eyes. The dancers are full of energy whipping through the space with precision, speed and a sense of joy. Music, words and light wind through the dance to create an odd magic.

Ann’s aim in making the work was to play with pattern, and rhythm. She engages the viewer through a cleverly constructed original world. “I am interested in making dances that are full of surprises, little presents and the feeling of pure joy. I feel full of the world when I dance, I want to give the audience this experience when they watch dance”. Ann Dewey.
