Stephan Koplowitz | TaskForce
Liquid Landscapes - 20–28 June 2009
Plymouth, Dartington Hall and Buckland Abbey, Yelverton
Eight iconic sites, eight adventurous dancers and eight unique performances in public spaces around Plymouth and beyond...
Join Bessie award-winning US director/ choreographer Stephan Koplowitz and his international dance company TaskForce for Liquid Landscapes, a three-year triptych triptych based on the theme of water that began in Los Angeles, California in 2008 and comes to the UK this summer.
Under the direction of site artist Stephan Koplowitz, eight European, UK and US dancers, UK composer and musician Hugh Nankivell, US filmmaker Gorav Kalyan, and a host of invited collaborating artists from across Devon create a series of public site-specific dance and multi-media performances that take place in historically, culturally and ecologically significant water-related sites throughout Plymouth, at Buckland Abbey and in the gardens at Dartington Hall in Totnes.
TaskForce has been specially commissioned and is funded by the Transatlantic Arts Consortium, a collaboration between The Dartington Hall Trust, California Institute of the Arts and Idyllwild Arts. Presented and co-produced in the UK by The Arts at Dartington. Co-presented by Barbican Theatre Plymouth, National Trust, Peninsula Arts/University of Plymouth, Plymouth City Council, Plymouth Museum & Gallery and Tamar Education Business Partnership.
Liquid Landscapes will take place come rain or shine - within reason! If the weather is at its very worst then please check the website.
