Choreographer Will Tuckett and Zenaida Yanowsky, principal dancer with the Royal Ballet, follow their performance inspired by Claire Barclay’s installationShadow Spans, which playfully references the similarities between the formal elements of classical dance and the architectural elements of Barclay’s work.
Claire Barclay is a young sculptor who have re-engaged with craft techniques and the symbolic resonance of materials. The architectural mix of the East End with its dark cobbled alleyways, Georgian townhouses and modern buildings are reflected into her sculpture. Barclay has created a complex space for peeking around corners and for being observed.
