| Event Name: | Between by Angela Woodhouse and Caroline Broadhead |
| Description: | A beautiful performance installation by highly regarded collaborative duo, choreographer Angela Woodhouse and Jerwood prize winning artist Caroline Broadhead.
This new performance explores the tension between visual spectacle and the hunger for intimacy. One dancer embeds herself within the audience, her arm covered loosely in gold leaf, while another is preoccupied in her private space, absorbed in subtle activity hidden from view.
Between plays with polarised experiences in which attention is both directed and split, exploring the relationships between distance and actual contact, between frenetic and barely visible action, and between roles and identities of spectator and participant.
The performance is Woodhouse and Broadhead’s seventh collaboration, and follows the success of their recent critically acclaimed work, Sighted (Royal Opera House Deloitte Ignite, 2009).
Between has been created in collaboration with outstanding dancers and long-time collaborators of Woodhouse and Broadhead - Stine Nilsen (Co-Artistic Director of Candoco Dance Company), David McCormick (DV8 Physical Theatre, Richard Alston Dance Company) and Italian performer Martina Conti (Firenza Guidi).
Between will be performed in the beautiful, intimate surroundings of the YSP Chapel, over three days.
"The shedding of skins. Of giving and receiving. The contemplation of exchange, of boldness and listening to invitations. Gentle, direct and deeply moving. The sheer pleasure of uncertainty, of clarity and quietness. Compelling."
