Witness - Portraits of Women Who Dance
Merlin Theatre - Frome Festival 10th July 6.30 & 8pm | 01373 465949 | fromefestival.co.uk 'A beautiful piece of work, moving, inspiring and thought provoking - about dance, about women, about being in front of cameras…’ An invitation to witness three exceptional dancers as they collaborate in the making of their own choreographic portraits in this revealing documentary. Three women talk candidly about their relationship with dance, performance and what it is to be watched. The unique performances that result are both elaborate and supremely personal: as idiosyncratic as the women who dance them. Excellence, intimacy and honesty in performance.

Talk Creative Cardiff – Witness
A Moving Tryptych by Asana Greenstreet
There are multiple conversations that happen on this stage. In each sequence, the screens play a different role for each of the women. In the first, the triptych hints at different elements of the dancer’s personality, and in the second, the screens take on anthropomorphic qualities. Ironically these screens put the choreographer, Jo Fong, on show: they open the project up to contemplation, commentary and scrutiny. Read more...
