Curated by Rosemary Butcher, one of the UK’s most consistently radical and innovative choreographers, Festival of Miniatures presents four groundbreaking works including two new pieces by Butcher herself.

Philipp Gehmacher and Vladimir Miller’s dead reckoning offers a panoramic view on events as it reconfigures the space inside four intersecting screens using projected film. This creates a fascinating fragmentation of sight and the body as spectators move around the object, trying to see the whole.

Inspired by two of Lucinda Childs’ works (Radial Courses and Interior Drama), Dialogue with Lucinda is a new piece by Nicole Beutler, which places Childs’ intense, ritualistic choreography in a new context, focusing on individual responsibility and group systems.

Lapped Translated Lines is a collaborative piece with concept and choreography by Rosemary Butcher with filmmaker Daria Martin, composer Cathy Lane and architects Matthew Butcher and Melissa Appleton, in which the internal senses of performer Elena Giannotti are amplified using sound and video. Destructive Navigations is a free pre-show performance prior to Lapped Translated Lines, created by Butcher with visual artist Pablo Bronstein.
