Aur Ek Antaraal: Drishti Dance

The word Antaraal literally means suspension or a pause in time. Aur Ek Antaraal is short screen dance film that explores the journey of movement in time, as experienced through pause in between. A pause that encapsulates a potential for transformation, a leashed energy, an anticipation, a silent tension ready to release at the next moment. A time thus can be viewed as a series of pauses interspersed with movement. This screen adaptation follows a full length work Antaraal, that premiered in ‘The Resolution 2016’ at, The Place, London followed by ‘Moving with the Times’, in Pegasus, Oxford.

This evening will explore the work of these two Berkshire based contemporary dance companies, who also do extensive work in teaching, and with communities. Watch together then join both companies online to find out more about the piece and the company.

This ticket includes a unique link to view the film and a code to join the online question and answer session, both of which will be emailed to you nearer the time. You do not have to attend both the screening and the Q&A.

Tuesday 22nd November, films beginning at 6.30pm and 7.30pm with online talk beginning at 8pm.
