12 Moves video stills from the story of Robert Fletcher

12 Moves

 

Video stills from SDNA's film “The story of Robert Fletcher” commissioned by Dancefest for 12 Moves. The film unfolds the story of an obsessive Victorian Collector who finds and traps six magical water creatures. These Creaturae Aquae cast a spell on Worcestershire’s inhabitants. Only a dance routine performed by a very large number of people has the power to release the water creatures and bring happiness back to the county.

The film contains the work of hundreds of Worcestershire dancers.

 

12 Moves has been the biggest dance project to have ever taken place in Worcershire, touching the lives of thousands of people. From community classes to spectacular outdoor events, 12 Moves got Worcestershire dancing!

 

SDNA were appointed as Artistic Directors of 12 Moves, to bring a fresh digital perspective to this ambitious dance project.

 

Over 6400 people have witnessed 12 Moves events, and nearly 4000 people have participated in activities that included guerilla projections, flash mobs, interactive installations, shop window performances and a large scale outdoor event.

 

12 moves creative team included composer Mira Calix (Warp Records), choreographer Jennifer Irons (ironINC Dance), code master Evan Raskob, dramaturg Stephen Wilson and costume designer Julia Kalache.

 

12 was commissioned by Dancefest as part of London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.
