JIA-YU CORTI – THE PANEL

I worked with Jia-Yu and her team of dancers during the R&D process of The Panel, which premiered at the Chelsea Theatre London as part of the Chelsea Fresh Blood series. As film-maker and technical advisor, I was able to develop material which was included in an in-show film projection and also short autobiographical films, which could be used by each of the dancers to develop their own movement material.

Seven dancer/makers and one philosopher delve into personal dance histories, drawing out sensations, questions and memories. Scraps of text and fragments of movement dance around one another, mingling and interweaving into a rich tapestry of meanings.
