Join us for an evening workshop presentation of Ecouter – Space 7. American/ British theatre director and choreographer Allison Troup-Jensen brings together an eclectic and exciting group of American and UK cross-disciplinary artists to create seven new pieces of work inspired by the black and white photography of the late American artist and photographer Francesca Woodman. Participants include: Chloe Moss, 2009 winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Award; Duncan MacMillan, recipient of the Bruntwood prize and playwright in residence at Paines Plough; poet and playwrights Lisa Parry and Matthew Keuter; Chris Cragin from the Emerging Writers Group at The Public Theater; choreographer Camille A. Brown from The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre; Olivier Award winning sound designer Paul Arditti (Billy Elliot and St. Joan); and experimental pianist and performance artist Cassie Yukawa.
Francesca Woodman created over 800 prints and 10,000 negatives in her brief but significant period of working between 1972 and her suicide 1981. Her provocative, influential work has been the subject of both critical admiration and intense scrunity, and she is revered by some as a leader in feminist thought. Woodman began making photographs at age thirteen spending most of her time growing up in Colorado with summers in Italy.
