Backdrops for Yorke Dance Project

5 March 2014

Yorke Dance Project perform Figure Ground at the Lilian Baylis, Sadler’s Wells

A week ago at the Lilian Baylis, Yorke Dance Project performed a wonderful preview performance of their touring programme: Figure Ground, an evening of 3 dances from the company. I was commissioned to create the set for the first work of the evening: No Strings Attached, choreographed by Charlotte Edmonds. I spent 3 weeks drawing during the rehearsals in the summer of 2013. Working from the drawings I painted 3 backdrop panels using acrylics each measuring 4m x 2m. I  negotiated 6 days in the high ceilinged No Format Gallery near my studio, to paint the canvas so had to have them complete in this time-frame.

It was great to paint on such a large scale – a first for me! In 2012 I created figurative wire sculpture to be on stage with Yolande Yorke-Edgell  in Noted.

26th January 2014

On Wednesday I completed the 3 canvas’s for the back-drop to No Strings Attached, the dance choreographed by Causeway Young Artist in Residence  Charlotte Edmonds for Yorke Dance Project‘s upcoming performance at the Lilian Baylis theatre February 27th and 28th. They measure 4m x 2m, too big for my studio walls, so I worked at No Format Gallery, which is on the same site as my studio, with a high ceiling and lots of wall space.

Because of the size I worked in a landscape format, even though they will hang Portrait. Although tricky, easier than climbing a ladder, because Charlotte Edmonds, the Choreographer and Yolande Yorke Edgell, the Artistic Director, haven’t seen the backdrop yet I cannot post a picture, however I’m sure its ok to post a close up of me in action.

I have never worked so large, but I hope I have the opportunity to so again, I loved it.
