This body of work grew from being awarded a Leeds City College Arts Fund commission to explore the idea of sculptures as a stage set for movement. I invited a group of Level 3 dance students to respond and devise new choreography. The sculptures and resulting film were installed in the dance studios at Leeds City College and then exhibited at BLANK_ in September 2021.
