ELIOT SMITH
DANCE RETURNS THROUGH MOVING PICTURES
Newcastle Peoples Theatre
Monday
9th May 2016
Two North East-born based artists have collaborated together and
are ready to dazzle us with a breath-taking performance and array of beautiful
drawings.
Bernadette Koranteng
presents her collection of drawings made in collaboration with contemporary
dance group the Eliot Smith Company. These mixed-media pieces are worked from
numerous on-the-spot quick sketches done over several months.
Bernadette says, "The human form has always been my
source of inspiration and continues to provide a vehicle for expressing
personal ideas and feelings"
The artist's intention is to convey not only the energy,
movement and physicality of the ESC dancers
but also the emotional content of their work.
