About
Artists Romany Dear and Ruth Barker present live performance works:
Using written and typed text works on paper Ruth Barker creates a score, in three interlocking parts which highlight the vocal movement in her work.
Romany Dear will show 2 live works, Solo Variations (2015) and Ballers (2014) danced with Ashanti Harris. Both works demonstrate her interest in using choreography and movement to explore ideas around athletics, communication, resistance and rhythm.
