ARTISTIC POLICY
Eddie Ladd creates culturally-located, site-specific, and theatre-based works. His bilingual performances (Welsh and English) mix movement, text, music, and imagery with new technologies.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
A very artful and open-ended act of political insubordination.
Donald Hutera, Dance Europe (Cof y corff/muscle memory)
Ferocious and funny.
Deborah Meyers, The Vancouver Sun (Scarface*)
A true multi-media work.
Charlotte Kasner, Ballet UK (Cof y corff/muscle memory)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Cof y corff/muscle memory
Tells Welsh history through movement analysis. A live work on screen, it starts with the dance on stage. This is performed to camera, processed on site and set in a digital environment.
45 mins, 7 on the road
Sawn-off Scarface
Short and basic version of Scarface*. Performed to a synopsis of the plot, it is a no-technology attempt on filmic effects and the theatrics of the gangster genre.
12 mins, 2 on stage, 3 on the road
Scarface*
Tribute to Brian de Palma’s 1983 gangster film, performed against chromakey with the performer mixed live into video backgrounds and the result projected onto a cinema-sized screen.
45 mins, 1 on stage, 3 on the road

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Cyfnod
Eddie Ladd works with composer Guto Puw to create a piece that unites dance and music.
'The challenge for me in the duet with Guto is to subvert my usual dance practice. In this duet the dance is shaped by the task of making sound.'
To premiere in Wales in autumn 2009.

WRAP-AROUND
Physical, site, and media-based workshops as required.
