A performance based on physical research into the choreographic rhythms of lace manufacturing in the East Midlands.

Four syncronised dancers perform to a collection of experimental sound compositions created through field recordings of jacquard looms at Cluny Lace Factory ltd. in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. These sounds were recorded by Aisling Ward and arranged in collaboration with musician Oliver Harris.

With special thanks to dancers Ellen Angus, Jo Dodd & Maggie Campbell.


Performed at Backlit Gallery as part the public programming for Silk to Silicon by Sebastian Koseda.
