Last chance to see ground-breaking dance film, Falling
Friday, 03 April 2009
(2)Following a five-star reviewed national tour with Henri Oguike Dance Company, Saturday 4 April at South Hill Park Cinema, Bracknell is the last opportunity to catch Falling, a ground-breaking dance film directed by MA post-graduate Dan Farberoff, in the UK this spring.
The film features NASA astronaut, Steve McClean narrating his expanded planes of experience during a space walk, and demonstrates how we are all, in effect, space-walking and falling to earth with every moment that passes and every movement we make.
Choreographed by Henri Oguike, the Nigerian/Welsh choreographer whose eponymous dance company won the Time out Live Award for Most Outstanding New Company 2001, and performed by Laura Pena Nunez and Nuno Campos, Falling also features an original soundtrack written and performed by renaissance woman of contemporary British music, Errolyn Wallen, with whom Dan also collaborated on the original concept.
The film was commissioned by Channel 4, ABC Australia, Arts Council England and Australia Council for the Arts. It was produced by Nikki Weston at MJW Productuions, the company responsible for Ballet Changed my Life: Bally Hoo, the programme featuring the Birmingham Royal Ballet that followed the progress of 200 young people with no dance experience for 18 months, culminating in a performance of Kenneth Macmillan's Romeo & Juliet in 2007.
"astonishing ... exquisite ... executed with an appositely otherworldly grace."
