FLATFOOT DANCE COMPANY @ artSPACE durban
For the week 22 - 26 June 2015, Durban’s
incomparable FLATFOOT DANCE COMPANY will again be resident at artSPACE
durban. In a meeting of dancers and fine artists, FLATFOOT will work in artSPACE
durban giving local artists an opportunity to paint, draw and create around the
dancers as they rehearse, dance and create choreography. FLATFOOT will continue to work in
their normal day routine and will open up their daily work process.
The week will involve session where artists
can watch and engage the dancers in their daily rehearsals but there will also
be specific session where the dancers will be a little more still to promote
portraiture (see schedule below).
The week will culminate in a final performance
of FLATFOOT DANCE COMPANY in Lliane
Loots’s recent and beautifully hard-hitting
“days like these” on Friday the 26th of June at 6.30pm
(bar facilities open) and curator Karen Bradtke will select some of the art
works generated over the week to put on display in the gallery at the Friday
event.
