The producers - Through The Fire Productions and the
Dance Research Studio - have pleasure in announcing the
completion of The Life Class, a short narrative
dance film by Jacky Lansley.
Using dance as a metaphor for life opposing the sterility of the corporate
world, the narrative tracks Vaslav, a small man who wants to change...
Lansley's film is driven by a series of bizarre characters and the glorious
music of Stravinsky's Firebird.

NEW PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT
DANCE OBJECTS
After the very successful View from the Shore at the
Hall for Cornwall and Clore Studio, Royal Opera House in January 2007
the company is now moving into its next cycle of research and development
towards a major
new project Dance Objects which will
take place in phases throughout 2008/09.
The project is concerned with dance and the environment and the impact
of different spaces on dance and choreography. A London/Cornish axis will
again be central to the working process, which include several exciting
opportunities for continuing professional development for both London
and Cornish based artists.
Further details will be available soon

CHOREOGRAPHIC COMMISSION
STANDING STONES
Choreographed by Jacky Lansley
Commissioned by Ascendance
Rep.
Standing Stones is a major new dance work conceived for Cathedral
spaces. Jacky Lansley will draw on her extensive experience
of site specific work to approach these special and ancient spaces.
Produced by Ascendance Rep, one of the UK's most innovative
dance companies, Standing Stones aims to celebrate the timeless
continuity of Cathedrals and the magnificence of their architectural
landscapes through dance, visual image and music. The choreography uses
the beautiful Mozart Clarinet Quintet K.V.581 played live by members
of the Cornish Sinfonia.
