Choreography: Gary Lambert
Performers: Megan Griffiths, Catrin Lewis, Effie McGuire Ward and Mike Williams
Sound Score: Ronen Kozokaro
Costume: Steve Denton
Lighting Design: Mickie Mannion
Informed by experiences drawn from an extensive performance background Lambert’s focus and interest is working through the body, where the devised movement becomes an expressive and physical landscape. It initiates from an interest in the manipulation and physical articulation of the body, as a reactive response to the images, sound score and environment.
Movement is the starting point of exploration and space is explored as a laboratory to frame movement. Gary’s appetite for movement has resulted in an eclectic style with an emphasis on physical aesthetics.
Through the interaction of the creative process with FFIN dancers and composer Ronen Kozokaro, Gary has made a pure, non-narrative work that is highly unique and reflects his love for athletic physicality
