Late Night Live Weekend Special

1 April 2012

12 noon / 2pm / 4pm Clore Learning Studio £5 / £4 concessions

For one weekend, starting with Late Night Live: Walk, Siobhan Davies Dance presents live performances, sound and film works from ROTOR, an exhibition inspired by walking in a circle.

The company will perform a series of pieces across the three day period, all taken from their work called ROTOR (2010). ROTOR is an ensemble of works created by eight artists in response to Siobhan Davies’ film The Score. It includes performances, sound installation and artworks.

The Score will feature over the weekend, projected onto the wall of the Foyle Rooms, alongside the pieces that form ROTOR:

•   Live Feed by playwright E V Crowe and directed by Ramin Gray is a collaboration with Siobhan Davies Dance, and is performed by the dancers who address the process of agreeing and maintaining the movement itself.

•   A Series of Appointments is a live work by Siobhan Davies where she has developed the choreography of her earlier work The Score into a layered and complex design.

•   I’m Going to Show You again by E V Crowe, is a recorded monologue performed by the actor Justin Salinger, about teaching someone how to tie a knot.

• And finally, composer Matteo Fargion pursues his love of rhythm, counterpoint and the absurd. In Songbook, space takes a back seat and time takes over. The dancers, stationed in a row behind their music stands like opera singers at a rehearsal, make their separate perilous journeys through a 33 page solo score for too many words, sounds and movements.

'ROTOR is exhilarating, offered with the finesse that always marks Davies' work. Stimulating and worthwhile.' Financial Times *****
