8 Tender solitudes : a film by fevered sleep
8 Tender Solitudes is a short dance film made during the third UK lockdown in early 2021, evoking what we lost when we were no longer able to touch. It was created in collaboration with seven extraordinary dancers, each performing alone. Featuring a soaring score by composer Kate Whitley, it’s made from yearning and sensuality, anger and frustration, grief, memory and love.
Over the last few years, we’ve had to learn new ways to connect with our friends and our loved ones. We’ve met each other at a distance, but rarely skin to skin. We’ve become fearful of breath, hugging and intimacy, and we’ve thought we might never be touched again. When we’ve lived like this for so long, can touch ever be the same?
Please note that this film contains flashing images.
Running time: 12 minutes.
Thurs 17th November, online screening at 7.30pm,
online Q&A with Artistic Director Sam Butler plus dance artist Jasmine Chiu at 8pm
Watch together then join the company online to find out more about the piece and the company, and how dance for film differs from dance for stage.
This ticket includes a unique link to view the film and a code to join the online question and answer session, both of which will be emailed to you nearer the time. You do not have to attend both the screening and the q&a.
