Forthcoming film screenings and exhibitions

‘To part and return’

To part and return explores the physical and mental states of being a performer. Part of a series of works dedicated to performing artists’ processes and practices, this collaboration with epic dance-performer, Vinay Kumar (South India) continues this body of work. Kumar is filmed in close relationship to the environment where the company,
Adishakti, is based- and is a ‘poetic-documentary’ without dialogue.
