Homegrown

An eclectic mix of screendance shorts by makers from across the South East - co-curated by our very own Community Steering Group, who have worked with us to select up to 10 artists to present their work as part of this screening. 

As part of this years mix, we'll be presenting South East based Stopgap Dance Company's Fierce Grace, a short dance film exploring the sacred power of shared movement.  

Full programme to be announced soon!

A group of dancers cluster gently around the central figure, Hannah - a white person with Down syndrome - who gazes directly into the camera. The others surround her in a soft, intricate tangle: arms cradling heads, hands draped over shoulders, torsos leaning into one another with quiet connection. While the surrounding dancers look outwards or towards each other, Hannah’s steady gaze holds the lens. All wear flesh-toned clothing, blurring the lines between bodies.
