Heather Eddington's State of Flux DanceFilm Company presents A Blank Canvas:
Supported by Arts Council England East, DanceEast and The Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts "A blank canvas" blends the mediums of dance, film, animation and sculpture into a dancefilm installation.

Entering the studio with a blank canvas, Heather set herself the challenge of capturing every detail of her dancer's imagination through movement, film, hand-drawnings, and various animation techniques.

Through the dancers recounting their individual and vivid journeys, Heather has brought to life their personal stories using colour, shape, texture and sound the result being sometimes humorous, at times strikingly truthful but always intriguingly beautiful.

The finished work is a short dance-film animation in which the two characters in this story move through their animated world interacting with the drawn objects and with each other.

Through residencies at The Sainsbury's Centre for Visual Arts and at DanceEast, choreographer Heather Eddington has collaborated with a range of highly gifted and innovative artists to create the piece, which lasts for approximately 15 minutes. It is designed to be shown either as a short film in a performance context or exhibited in a range of spaces such as galleries and foyers and which can remain in each space for any specified period of time.
