STANDING STONES
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.
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.

“Lansley allows the music to sing for itself, the dancers
seeming to hear and respond to it as if the clarinet were bird song and
she gives it space to breathe within her movement.”

“Cathedrals have demonstrated the great synthesis of art and
architecture since at least the middle ages and it is a great privilege
to create a choreographic work that will celebrate and be inspired by
this special history.”
