Description

Who Cares is a cross-disciplinary dance video project (dance and visual arts) that explores and applies the use of thermal imaging in creating an innovative new work which, in
partnership with NHS staff, reflects on the role of touch as a signifier of care, contamination,intimacy and trust.

The format of presentation can either be in miniature on a series of ipods within a gallery space, or large-scale projection within or outside spaces, dependent on the needs of the venue or Festival.

Collaborating artist Caroline Broadhead.
Dancers: Alice Labant and Martina Conti.
