Directed by Heather Eddington, State of Flux is a vibrant dancefilm company dedicated to the creation of fresh, exciting and original work by fusing dance, film, animation and design. The company is made up of international artists including dancers, animators and sculptors in exploring the possibilities of dancefilm. Together the team creates highly innovative dancefilm installation work where movement, images and environment blend and the performance begins.
“Eddington’s sensitive, quirky and adventurous style, has led her to find a language within dancefilm which is refreshing and very much her own.” – David Hinton, Film Director.
In 2010, Heather created her first full-length (45 minute) production Forgetting Natasha at the brand new Jerwood DanceHouse in Ipswich. It went on to tour in London and across the east region in Autumn 2010 and is now available for touring both nationally and internationally throughout 2011/2012.
For this new work Heather has collaborated with an international team of artists including KMA Media Artists (previous credits include the international tour of DV8’s To Be Straight With You), poet and writer Anna Mae Selby and dancers Melissa Spiccia, Josephine Darvill-Mills and Baptiste Bourgougnon. Through the creation of this new work Heather has developed her unique approach to using dance, film, text, digital technologies and live animation in performance.
Forgetting Natasha will be presented at Zoo Southside as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2011.
Heather’s previous installation work A Blank Canvas also toured the UK in 2010 as part of the National Dance Network’s Dance 3 programme.
