Our project in Cambridge has come a long way since my last Blog post!

The live performance on 24th September was brilliantly received by the audience that attended the launch. It was exciting to see the sculpture and the choreography in its full effect in twilight. We had a lot of interest in the future of the work and a wonderfully positive comments from people I spoke with.

Soon after the live performance was complete, I began to think about making a film version of the work. Once again, I am working with James Williams, MovingProductions Photography, to transform the 15min live performance into a 5min film. At the end of September James and I began discussing our vision for the film.

Filming took place on the 16th and 18th October. To get the full effect of the lights, the film was shot at nightfall. James hired in a set of portable lights to ensure that the dancers were fully visible. The outcome were a series of really beautiful shots that captured the essence of the interactive sculpture and the choreography. Despite the cold, the dancers performed beautifully and were, as always, an absolute pleasure to work with. I throughly enjoyed this shoot as there was an experimental element to the approach James and I took- including a home made GoPro chest mount! Below are a few videos to give you a sneak peek at what we got up to…

We are now in the process of finalising the edit for the film! Keep your eyes peeled for the final cut!
