ROSEMARY BUTCHER - 'WOMAN AND MEMORY' (dance)

Rosemary Butcher’s work encompasses conceptual art and the use of space. This piece follows her exploration of the relation between dance and the moving image through a combination of performances, films and installations. The successive passing from one form to another, video and live performance, give rise to the notions of travel and movement thus returning to the question of time and out of time which are at the centre of her preoccupations.

For some thirty years, Rosemary Butcher has challenged the conventional base of dance. Through the use of conceptual art, movement and space her choreographic expression is a very singular one.
