Staithe is a distillation of a 3-year performance project, saw/sore/soar, looking at memory, habitual patterns and the nature of change. Made on Burnham Overy beach in Norfolk in 2005, here it is re-cut by film-maker Lucy Cash as a single-screen video. Earlier versions involved a dialogue between live and recorded material, with the performer dancing live with a projection of a 20-minute version of the film.
saw/sore/soar was shown in London at: The Place, Hoxton Hall, Hackney Empire, and at Sensitive Skin Festival (Nottingham); Spring Collection at The Point (Eastleigh); San Francisco Fringe Festival; Masdanza (Gran Canaria).
Staithe has previously been shown in London at the Intimacy Across Visceral and Digital Performance symposium at Goldsmiths; Falling Wide's Outsider Dancing programme at Toynbee Studios; the Chisenhale Biennale curated by Richard Layzell and Alana Jelinek at Chisenhale Studios.
