SIMON WHITEHEAD DANCE INTENSIVE
Drifting
A workshop as place sensitive Investigation of the Body and the City.
A series of exploratory 'Drifts' across Liverpool. Improvisational scores that encourage the dancer to navigate,
get lost in and dance through the various environments of the city.
Simon Whitehead works from his base in rural West Wales and internationally. He has developed a body of work from
the pedestrian; encountering situations at walking pace his works are place sensitive and often involve a process
of ritual reconstruction through the body, dance performance, sound and sensory media. Over the last eight years he has
collaborated closely on many of these works with sound artist Barnaby Oliver and his work continues to embrace notions
of plurality and the collaborative process with other artists, the public and animals.
The dance intensive takes place at the Horseshoe Gallery, World Museum Liverpool, William Brown Street, Liverpool,
from 10am-4pm, Saturday 21st July-Sunday 22nd July 2007. The cost is £50/£40.
