Digbeth-based photographer Richard Battye is launching his new exhibition this evening Still – Dancing, which runs from 19th April – 8th May in the Custard Factory Gallery.
Richard Battye’s “Still – Dancing” at the Custard Factory Gallery showcases several years work in capturing leading dancers, shot both in the studio and on location in the City….Richard continues: “Dancing is fun to do but it’s just as much fun to watch. Hopefully my pictures will encourage people to get involved at all levels.”
Richard’s exhibition opens with a preview at 6pm this evening. It coincides with the International Dance Festival Birmingham (IDFB), which Ikon Eastside is playing host to a number of performances for, namely:
- Running Sushi, Chris Haring (Friday 23 & Saturday 24 April)
- Double Bill of Meryem Jazouli (Morocco) & Muhanad Rasheed – Iraqi Bodies (Iraq) (Sat 1st May)
- Self Unfinished, Xavier Le Roy (Thursday 13 & Friday 14 May)
There’s a much more detailed report of dance activity at Ikon Eastside this spring at Spaghetti Gazetti. Check out the IDFB website to find out more of the myriad of dance activity going on locally, in venues such as the Birmingham Hippodrome, Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the Town Hall.
