Rosemary Butcher - Festival of Minatures: Lapped Translated LinesSince the mid-seventies, Rosemary Butcher has been the UK's most consistently radical and innovative choreographer, developing her own movement language and choreographic form. Through her determination to remain an independent artist, her use of cross arts collaboration within the choreographic process and her frequent choice of non-theatrical spaces to present her work, she has changed the direction of British contemporary dance. Lapped, Translated Lines is an exciting new multi-disciplinary collaboration between internationally renowned choreographer Rosemary Butcher, artist-filmmaker Daria Martin, and emerging art collective Post Works (Matthew Butcher and Melissa Appleton). In a piece that seeks to extend the definition of dance, live performance is set against new film work and a sculptural installation. The choreography of Lapped, Translated Lines was created by Rosemary Butcher and born out of discussions with dancer Elena Giannotti about Darwin and the skeletal structure and morphology of animals. Daria Martin's film captures the resulting performance in impressionistic fragments and powerfully depicts the inner world of the dancer as she navigates her way through the piece. Post Works's stunning sculptural framework of steel and light will act as a viewing frame at the edges of the performance space and a register against which to view the physical movement. This remarkable new work will leave audiences questioning the boundaries between viewer and performer and event and memory; celebrating the processes of translation and transformation as we move between languages, spaces and disciplines. Destructive Navigations is a free event prior to Lapped Translated Lines, created by Butcher with visual artist Pablo Bronstein.
