People United
Joanne Leighton • NEW PRODUCTION WLDN
Nine dancers covering the ins and outs and the power of mass movements around the world.
When large groups of people gather in public spaces they generate collective movements and actions, plus large-scale energy. Crowds raise their arms, brandish their fists, sing and chant, with their bodies in a state of tension, overheating.
Joanne Leighton has used snapshots taken at protest marches and celebrations to address the bonds between individuals when defying authority, or when caught up in musical fervor and excitement. Starting with photos, People United investigates the exaltation and the way such a climax is reached, responding to pictures of real-life situations to pay a vibrant tribute to collective energy.
