Siobhan Davies’ Collection breaks down conventional models of dance | West Midlands Dance – Hannah Waldram interviews Siobhan Davies about her new work Minutes, which is at Ikon Eastside gallery until 4th October:
“It’s an action: I’ll put the dance in a gallery space. By putting a dance artist’s movement, their performance, in another space, it is a different context. Do the audience bring a different perspective or a different energy or set of questions when they go into a gallery space than when they go into a theatre space? I’m never going to know the answer, but I like to pose a question.”
Minutes is part of the wider work Collection, which also includes a video Lying in Wait at the Custard Factory by Indris Khan and Sarah Warsop, and Russian artist Victor Alimpiev’s exhibition at the Brindley Place Ikon Gallery, which consists of videos which reference contemporary dance.
Hannah has inserted a recording of the full interview into her post.
