Dance Art
A short season of dance in London gallery spaces
October 2007 - January 2008


Dance Art is a new season of dance events by London art group, Intimate Contenders, presented in gallery spaces across the capital.

These four new works explore dance’s interface with the visual arts, the marks that can be made by movement and the possibilities offered by unfamiliar spaces. Produced by Falling Wide and hosted by the National Portrait Gallery, Herald St and Wilkinson Gallery, Dance Art invites audiences to experience contrasts in expressions and a change in perspective:


Paper Portraits
by Florence Peake
Thurs 4th October, 6pm
National Portrait Gallery
Falling between dance and visual arts, this dance and paper installation explores how movement influences art, the choreography of construction and how line, colour and sculptural form bears its mark on movement and space.

My Father's Grace
by Joe Moran
Tues 8th - Weds 9th January 2008

A quiet and deeply physical new work exploring the imprint of personal histories and their refracted evolution through form: in movement, in sound, in word, in image. My Father's Grace is a sparse new solo performed by Joe Moran.
