The dancer approaches and embeds
herself within her audience her arm covered loosely with gold leaf seemingly diseasing
the skin.
The gold is
displaced, passed on, pressed into the skin – a kind of burn. Meanwhile, in the distance
another performer absorbs the attention around her through subtle gestures and
invitation …
Following an
outstanding success with audiences around the country, Angela Woodhouse and
Jerwood award winning Marsden Woo Gallery artist Caroline Broadhead bring this intriguing and
beautiful performance installation Between back to London. The performances will be held at The Platform Theatre, Central Saint Martins on 6 & 7 November.
Sharing the space with the performers
you are witness to visual gems set against intimate exchanges in this highly
charged and atmospheric work. Made in collaboration with exceptional performers Stine Nilsen (Co –
artistic director Candoco Dance Co), David McCormick (Richard Alston/DV8) and
Italian dancer Martina Conti (Firenza Guidi) this promises to be a memorable
event.
Angela and Caroline’s combined interests explore detail and intimacy
through the interplay of movement, materials and light. Significant works such as Court (2003-6) and the Place Prize
Commission Threshold (2004) have been
followed by profiled
commissions including Sighted (Royal
Opera House Deloitte Ignite 2009) and The Maven commission 2010 for Woking
Dance Festival in collaboration with Tate Artist Rooms (Jenny Holzer).
Between has been touring since 2011 and this
will be the last chance to catch this extraordinary work.
‘Tender and moving. Felt totally transformed and
engaged’.
‘Quite, quite extraordinary!’
