A group of people wearing colourful, vibrant clothing are smiling joyfully as they dance together in a circle. The scene is set against a textured brick wall, adding a rustic backdrop to their cheerful movements and expressive energy. The photograph is taken from a slightly low angle, with the person in the foreground turned away from the camera - adding depth and perspective to the scene.

Over and Over (and over again)

Told through Dan Daw’s unique blend of dance, narrative and iconography and Co-Directed by storytelling raver Stef O’Driscoll, ‘Over and Over (and over again)’ explores what happens when a beat takes hold, and we dare to colour outside the lines to create our own dance-floor utopia.

DIGITAL WORK

Cuckoo

Cuckoo is a visually striking and playful dance film from Candoco Dance Company, inspired by a bespoke prosthetic leg created by Sophie de Oliveira Barata of The Alternative Limb Project, for dancer Welly O’Brien. This unique limb is carved from cherry wood and features a working cuckoo clock and pendulum.
Landscape image, 3 chairs, female dancer sits on two of the chairs facing the right side speaking into a microphone. Male dancer behind and to the right is a wheelchair user. He leans to the left making a straight line with his arms from the floor and reaching up to the ceiling. Another female dancer gazes at the scene from the back left corner.
