Sadler's Wells dance on identity | Other by Cordelia Beresford | Dance Film | Random Acts

Описание: Random Acts has partnered with Sadler’s Wells to present original films from three distinctive artists, to coincide with their new commissions for the Reckonings stage production. Reflecting a variety of dance styles from post-modern dance to contemporary African and hip-hop theatre, the films are informed by themes such as race representation, gender and identity.

OTHER is a new collaboration between choreographer/dancer Julie Cunningham and director/cinematographer Cordelia Beresford. The film is a duet, exploring questions of identity and the shifting nature of relationships. The painterly use of colour in costumes and locations conjures up a dream-like space.

Cordelia Beresford is a filmmaker & video artist whose works explore issues of mental distress and representations of the female body on camera. Her works combine choreographed movement with cinematic lighting and she has worked with celebrated Australian contemporary dancers.

Julie Cunningham is an award-winning dance artist formerly with Merce Cunningham Dance Company and Michael Clark Company, whose work is concerned with gender and identity and in the body and its emotional states, often working between movement and text from sources ranging from popular culture to literature. Their recently launched company has performed at Barbican Pit Theatre, V&A’s REVEAL festival, Southbank Centre and Sadler’s Wells among others
