These photographs were taken at the dress rehearsal of Sioned Huws Aomori Project at Greenwich Dance Agency last Thursday evening. The performance brings together local people from Greenwich and professional artists from Japan in a new dance work, especially created for the Borough Hall. Three shamisen musicians, one minyo singer and two Tsugaru dancers join a group of 5-70 year olds in a work continued since 2008 from Sioned’s first experience of harsh winter conditions in Aomori, a region of Northern Japan.
You can keep up to date with Sioned as she continues to explore Japan and gather material for Aomori Project: Of Landscapes Remembered at her new Greenwich Dance Blog.
My 2nd shoot for the ‘relationship’ assignment was a Tea Dance at GDA. Being particularly interested in dance photography I thought this would be a good option for the assignment providing many opportunities for interaction. Although these images are not necessarily ‘intimate’ shots I think some of them do illustrate ‘relationship’. Here are my favourite images from the shoot.
