Event Information
About this event
As part of our vision to provide connection, collaboration and creation within the dance sector, Wellesley Studios is pleased to invite you to our second 'Friday Features - Series 6' evening facilitated by Amber Liberté.
‘Friday Features - Series 6’ will be hosted over a period of 4 weeks on Friday evenings from 6pm – 8pm. These sessions offer the opportunity for artists to share about themselves and their work or areas of interest. All sessions are free of charge and will culminate with connection and discussion.

"Cascade" is a collaborative dance-film between NZ dance & film-makers and UK producer Origamibiro (Tom Hill), featuring dancers Xin Ji & Veronica Butturini. This dance-film was a finalist in the Paris Play Film Festival.
Following the themes of isolation, longing & togetherness, this work was created for Origamibiro's new single from his latest album Miscellany.
This will be the first in-person showing and will be followed by an insight into the process of pre-production / production / and post-production, a discussion around the themes, and a Q&A.
For those wanting to investigate dance-film making, to develop an understanding of how dance works onscreen, and the 'producer brain process', for creatives to make the most of material once the final edit has been made.
