| Inside My Dance |
The journey
Many hours of recorded interview material has been distilled into three five
minute ‘voice compositions’, each representing the essence of Angela’s
lived experience at key stages of her life. A selection of vintage & new
photographs reflect these stages:
1. MOVEMENT: up until the birth of her disabled daughter
2. STANDSTILL: the ten years following her daughter’s birth
3. INTEGRATION: the last twelve years
And INSIDE MY DANCE has an added dimension. As a dancer and
choreographer and with a need to explain her daughter to the world, Angela
Lane choreographed a short piece called ‘For Cherry’:
“I made a dance once, using all the movements that Cherry made. Strange
mysterious movements that were hard to understand. Movements that
looked broken, but when I put them in a dance they became beautiful. To
perform it I had to be inside her dance”
In a specially commissioned film, INSIDE MY DANCE presents a
documentary recording the recreation of ‘For Cherry’.
INSIDE MY DANCE aims to bring to a wider audience the experience of a
mother and her profoundly disabled daughter and to create a bridge
between those who are labelled ‘disabled’ and the rest of us who consider
ourselves ‘normal’. It does this by challenging perceptions of ‘disability’ in a
creative and thought-provoking exploration of Angela’s story.
