Freefalling on film

Dance Studio. View is along floor. You can see four dancers, the one nearest, to the left of the image is only visible from the waist down. They are wearing black dance shows and a long black skirt or wide trousers so you can't see separate legs. The three figures further away are holding onto a ballet barre along the wall in front of a mirror. They are all holding on tiptoe with their arms above them. You can see their reflections behind them.

Freefall

Created as part of the We Dance Festival in 2012. Freefall's first collaboration with filmmaker Sima Gonsai.

Bright summery day. Blue sky with lots of lively white clouds. Green field, hedges visible in the distance. Single, empty, park bench in foreground

One Fine Day

Freefall worked with Sima Gonsai again on this delightful film, captured on location at Severn Valley station.

Watch here
A lone figure, wearing black trousers and a long sleeved pale brown top stands to the right of the image leaning on a wooden rail and looking out of the image to the right. He seems to be standing on a wooden pathway or bridge as we can see more wood walls to the left, wooden planks on the floor, and int he distance a fence in front of green leaved trees.

We Are Here

Freefall's third film with Sima Gonsai was filmed at Lunt Fort in Coventry.

Watch here
A group of dancers stand huddled in the centre of the stage. They are all pointing up to the sky. One of them has been lifted by the others above their heads and she is in a spotlight as she too reaches up.

After Bach

Choreographed by Sir David Bintley

Watch here
Cartoon drawing of a room in a big house. In the foreground you can see a girl in a pale blue dress with long blonde hair tied back on her head in a bow. She is holding a Nutcracker Doll in a red soldier uniform. In the background of the room is a fireplace with a roaring fire. Over that is a mirror flanked by candle sticks. There are paintings on the wall and rich red curtains around an opening into another room.

The Nutcracker

An animated film featuring Freefall Dance Company

Watch here
This is a black and white image. Captured in a deserted bar or commercial kitchen. Viewed from the waist up, a lone dancer stands just the right of centre, his arms are out to both sides, and out of focus as he moves through his dance.
