BREAKTHROUGHS

Multiscreen Installation by filmmaker Deborah May

What happens when we follow a flash of inspiration over time? The moment when memories, cultures and fragments of practice connect with renewed vitality. For artists committed to a lifetime of exploration, these moments provide energy to transform. The rehearsal room holds the vulnerability of these ideas in motion. Witness 5 dancers in the Drill Hall at Critical Path, as they approach their practice through the lens of the ‘Breakthrough’.

Henrietta Baird
Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal
Martin del Amo
Rhiannon Newton
Rosalind Crisp
