Poetry of Motion/Motion Picture Studies

Between December 2023 and July 2024, I engaged in several experiments with dancers, often alongside my friend and collaborator Chiara Cecchini Manara. These lead to three separate shows: Poetry of Motion (images of Alessandra Felci), Developed In Darkness (my final Master's Thesis show, images of Lucy Hopkins), and Harvesting Happiness, a collaboration with Cecchini Manara and the dancers Madhura Gokarn and Anuran Das. Alessandra Felci incorporated these images and others into work she presented at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London, England. Lucy Hopkins incorprated images from these shoots into her Dance MA thesis and materials were used to advertise the Dance MA Thesis shows at Bath Spa University.
