About
Independent Dance (ID) and Siobhan Davies Dance present the sixth edition of WHAT festival, What remains…Anatomy of an Artist, featuring work by some the UK’s most exciting contemporary dance artists including: Julie Cunningham, Air Field (Ian Spink, Bill Thompson and Alan Paterson), Matthias Sperling, My Johansson, Jamie Atherton, Rajni Shah, Carolyn Roy, Colin Poole and Simon Ellis, Katrina Brown & Rosanna Irvine and Michaela Ross & Olga Masleinnikova.
What remains…celebrates the way in which the practice of others stimulates, refracts and transforms our own ideas, attitudes and processes. Inspired by French forensic scientist Edmond Locard’s basic principle that “every contact leaves a trace”, each of the featured works examines the anatomy of an artist – their methods, inspirations, influences, biography, or their actual physicality. Among the chosen subjects are Kate Tempest, Fred Herko, Samuel Beckett and Steve Paxton.
