Chorepgraphy students rehearsing at Tinside Lido as part of Liquid Landscapes UCF's choreography students join award-winning US director/choreographer, Stephan Koplowitz, and his international dance company, TaskForce, in collaboration with local artists and the Dartington Hall Trust, to bring you Liquid Landscapes, a set of eight public dances at historic sites throughout Devon.

The first performance, which is free, takes place on Saturday 20 June at Dartington's Tiltyard Gardens at 3.30pm and 5.30pm and is the culmination of a three week rehearsal process.

Famed for using unusual spaces for dance, Stephan Koplowitz, has choreographed large scale public art performances in New York's Grand Central Station, the British Library and the Natural History Museum.

Each of the performances are linked by the theme of water and will be staged at the iconic lighthouse, Smeaton's Tower; the Mayflower Steps; a camera obscura in Devonport; Armada Way and the Barbican Theatre; the Tinside Lido in Plymouth; and nearby Buckland Abbey.

Short films of rehearsals, including the Tiltyard, can be seen at www.dartington.org/arts/taskforce-multi-media

University College Falmouth is the only independent Higher Education institution in Cornwall with the powers to award degrees in its own name. It has two campuses in Cornwall - at Woodlane in Falmouth and Tremough in Penryn (which it owns, and jointly manages with the University of Exeter) - and a third campus at Totnes in Devon, following its merger with Dartington College of Arts in 2008.

This merger created a new institution focusing on the expansion of Falmouth's expertise in Art, Design and Media and Dartington's expertise in Choreography, Music, Theatre, Art and Writing. The Devon-based courses will relocate to a new, high-specification Performance Centre at Tremough in 2010, paving the way for a new specialist Arts University in Cornwall by 2012, that will be unique to the South West.

The College is a founding partner in the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC), a unique initiative to promote regional economic regeneration through Higher Education, funded mainly by the European Union, the South West Regional Development Agency, and the Higher Education Funding Council for England, with support from Cornwall County Council.
