South East Dance - Biography
South East Dance have been creating, presenting and distributing dance film and video in the UK for over 10 years. We produce some of the best cutting edge screen dance films in the world. By screen dance we don’t mean Dirty Dancing, or a video of your brother having a smooch at a wedding. We mean a ground- breaking, fast-moving, pioneering art form where artists explore dance and film and the cross over between the two.
Whether you’ve watched screen dance before, have an interest in dance or film, like to experience something new or just fancy a change from the beer tent, these films are definitely worth a watch.
As part of the Big Chill Festival, South East Dance is screening three very different short films to give you a taster of the diversity of the British screen dance work being produced today.
The Fall of Adam
The Fall of Adam is an urban regeneration of Adam's fall from grace. Taking the story to new hi-rise heights, Adam's staircase descent is a literal wrestle with his demons. It's fight on flights as Eve turns from the divine to the bovine, and Satan shows up to air his dirty laundry.
