Capture in Brum

If you are yearning for dance on camera then look no further than Capture West Midlands which will be showing its' frames at the Patrick Centre in Birmingham on 21st June.

Capture is Arts Council England's valiant (we're being generous here) attempt at film making with dance as the central focus. Previous efforts have been risible but always approach things with a fresh mind we say.

These particular offerings will be installations rather than straight dance films which you can sit down and watch with your popcorn. Look at it as an afternoon in an art gallery rather than a night in the Odeon!

The press info states this about one of the works on show:

"Aureole explores themes of pregnancy and identity. The installation will combine a large scale video projection and features an 8-speaker audio composition. This highly praised piece of work was devised by filmmaker Katy Connor who has worked on a wide variety of film and television programmes for Channel 4 and the BBC"

We should have some footage to show you from this event next week so stay tuned.
