nottdance08 in London
Thomas Lehmen from Germany will première a new work on Friday 24 October.
Heromatik was commissioned by Dance4 and challenges the conventional way
of creating and presenting a piece of work. Instead of focusing on showing a
finished piece, for each performance Lehmen creates a new set of possibilities,
developing the work under the very eyes of the audience. This is a very
personal take on artistic creation, a call to question what it means to be an
artist today.
A new venture for both Siobhan Davies Dance and Dance4, it is hoped that
future collaborations will take place.
‘As an artist I recognise how well Dance4 finds distinct structures to help
encourage and promote individual artists. The specific approach provides
knowledgeable support in which risk can be tested.’ Siobhan Davies
