Sensualities: Screen / Movemement / Experience

About

Evocative and thoughtful, Sensualities is a joint exhibition by interdisciplinary dance makers/academics Jane Bacon and Vida Midgelow. Developing their ongoing work as Co-Directors of the Choreographic Lab (University of Northampton) they present a collection of works that articulate the experience of moving and being moved using video, text and photographic imagery. In her new work Midgelow uses close up shots and tightly framed images of the dancer's body in an exploration of skin, screen and nakedness, whilst Bacon explores landscape and writing as alternative inspirations or ‘fields' for generating creative articulations that speak to the inter-relationship between Psyche, Soma and Spirit. There will be a research event to coincide with the exhibition on 23 February from 1-5pm. Moving Forwards - Practice as Research in Dance will articulate and investigate current agendas in PaR across Dance Practices. Following papers by leaders in the field, there will be a round table discussion and time for open discussion in which we are seeking to address some of the ongoing and emerging issues in the field. This event is free and light refreshments will be provided. For more details contact Vida.Midgelow@northampton.ac.uk , or to reserve a place please contact Paul.Cureton@northampton.ac.uk
