“When we put dance on screen we loose the liveness of the performance, the flesh and bones, therefore there is a dematerialization of the body.”
Anna Heighway

​

This project is a site-specific work created for Bath Spa University’s Media Wall. It takes advantage of the infinite possibilities that the divisions of the screen allow for in the creation of a screen dance. These divisions invite the viewer to explore the concept of deconstruction of the body.

Deconstruction, a project between MA Dance and MA Curatorial Practice has emerged from a desire to exchange knowledge and practices between different fields.
