What Matters

Lucy Cash  

Showcasing experimental work and choreographic enquiry across traditional art-form boundaries What Matters, curated by Lucy Cash and Becky Edmunds (straybird) will be taking place over four days in April 2012.

Following on from the questions asked at their What if... festival in 2010, What Matters sits between a choreographed exhibition and an exhibited choreography, questioning the nature and relationship of these practices. It will unfold through a thoughtful programme of screenings, performance, debate and discussion that will culminate in a long weekend of events located around the building.

What Matters
is presented by Independent Dance in association with Siobhan Davies Dance and South East Dance. Additional support from the International Journal of Screendance.
