Description

Expanded Landscapes is a performance installation for the environs of Canary Wharf made in collaboration with Nathaniel Rackowe. The work synthesises movement/ dance with architectural forms constructed from materials resonant of the built or urban environment. One of the themes that emerges is the notion of transience as populations filter through the landscape. This is supported by the current questions of evolution as historically expressed through the drive to build more and consume, and which now need
adjusting in the shadow of the climate emergency. We see the performance as an engine that tries to resist collapse but inevitably burns itself out. We address the formal questions of energy through expansion of the space, through repetition, through waves of activity, through gravity and stillness, through meeting and re-forming. The audience will be free to move and view this from multiple perspectives. The quality of light and colour will change over the passing of the day.

Dancers: Alice Labant and Vanio Papadelli.
Commissioned by Canary Wharf PLC for Summer Lights 2022
