ABOUT THE WORK
Inspired and driven by the delightful textile art of Anne Swan (deceased), this wry quintet touches a more playful side of BLM and Carl’s dancemaking. Carl was particularly fascinated by the series of puppet people Swan made and devised the work around the concept of animating these wonderfully odd figures to life. The piece also incorporates some of Swan’s actual artworks generously made available by her son George Swan, who fully commissioned the work in tribute to his mother’s life and art.
