Between foot rise and footfall. A universe of possibilities opens and closes.

A film exploring what’s in a step. (work in progress)

 

25R1 explores her strange environment and abilities, and for the first time feels alone.
The film was originally created by Roly Carline and OFVM Film Oxford as part of a live dance performance piece (by Oxford youth Dance Company) supported by MINI Plant Oxford. It was premiered at the launch of Dancin’ Oxford 2010. The film took it’s inspiration from the car factory. Film maker and dancer Roly Carline and Choreographer / Dance Director Cecilia Macfarlane were struck by the movement of the factories robots and inspired to create the new work involving collaboration between film and dance.

Roly Carline trained as an artist at Birmingham Institute of Fine Art. He is an Oxford based independent artist and performer, with an eclectic body of work that ranges from community dance work to commercial film projects.

Untitled – a work-in-progress by Naomi Morris and Ben Pritchett
 
A short film inspired by winter weather and Thomas Hardy’s ‘The Darkling Thrush’.

‘..leant upon a coppice gate
When Frost was spectre-grey,
And Winter’s dregs made desolate
The weakening eye of day.
The tangled bine-stems scored the sky
Like strings of broken lyres,
And all mankind that haunted nigh
Had sought their household fires..’

I’m Out – Sarah Linstra
I’m Out is a short exploration of the relationship between the creator of a work of art, and the one who brings it to life.
