Darkened Room: What Do You See? is a new performance project by Siobhan Davies Dance in partnership with The Photographers' Gallery.
About
Young people aged between 14 and 21 years are invited to work with choreographer Freddie Opoku-Addaie to create a new dance work drawing from a range of movement styles including street, folk and contemporary. The piece brings together choreography with the Gallery’s permanent camera obscura, observing how a dance work can be viewed in different ways both live on-site and through the lens. During the making of the work participants will explore the evolution of photography, from camera obscura to the iPhone camera, drawing attention to the opposition between these two worlds. The final piece will be performed at The Photographers’ Gallery.
The camera obscura produces an inverted image of the reflected view in a darkened space within the Gallery.
No prior dance experience is required, just an enthusiasm for dance.
