We have a series of Special Free Screening coming up of Dancing on the Inside a programme of dance films celebrating the life and legacy of international award-winning Scottish filmmaker, producer and curator Simon Fildes (1962-2021).
Friday 3 May 6.30pm
Saturday 4 May 12noon
Admission is free but booking essential at (link in bio)
The programme features 7 short films which all explore ideas surrounding embodiment of form through varying narratives, and includes Six Solos, a multi-award winning video produced by GOAT and City Contemporary Dance Company Hong Kong.
“The film builds slowly until the wide shots become medium and close up shots with only parts of bodies emerging up into or disappearing out of frame. By the end of the film, the music and editing build together in a thrilling crescendo, with all six dancers now intertwined and moving together to create one powerful, yet abstract piece about the human condition. Simon Fildes’ work stands in a class of its own, and Six Solos is no exception.”
-Sarah Elgart,
award-winning LA based choreographer/director
