The organiser says:
Antonia Bruce has created a beautiful portfolio of drawings in Indian ink that articulate the language and expression of contemporary dance. Working closely with international dancers, she draws from life in the rehearsal studio on scrolls of paper. In capturing the myriad forms of movement, she uses gestural marks that ranges from broad vigorous brush strokes to delicate hair line filaments. At times she adds colour, and perhaps a pure powdered cobalt blue for texture.
Antonia's drawings have a calligraphic quality that reflect the fluidity and language of the individual dancers that she works with: the Pierrot contemporary sensibility of Marina Collard, the classical baroque balletic dance of Susie Crow, and the rigour and dynamic that infuses Protein Dance Troupe street fights.
Marina Collard, internationally renowned dancer and choreographer, interleaves contemporary dance with bodywork.
Susie Crow danced for twelve years with the Royal Ballet and Sadlers Wells, performing many solo roles, and has a ballet school based in Oxford.
Luca Silvestrini's Protein is a highly energized, witty and humorous London dance troupe that creates vignettes of real life, coloured with theatre and drama.
