Dance
Dance is a rarely-performed signature work by one of the pillars of the Judson Dance Theater collective, Lucinda Childs, who has not been seen in London since Dance Umbrella 1994. A seminal collaboration emerging out of one of New York’s most vibrant artistic periods, this 1979 classic set to music by Philip Glass has been revived with a complete restoration of Sol LeWitt’s work on film, which comprises the work’s décor. The 11 extraordinary dancers seamlessly interact with the original dancers on film, the effect being "a ghostly duet of mediums in which layered images work wonders with space and volume, weaving a richly detailed theatrical tapestry." (New York Times). The repeated flowing phrases and ethereal nature of the movement, both live and on film, creates an immersive and mesmerising experience for the audience.
