Light to the Darkness
A number of months ago Robert Golden was asked to create an animated film to accompany the words of a song, newly written, to go with a traditional melody from World War 1. The words were written by Burton Bradstock resident David Powell, teacher, mentor and musician and the melody by Scottish Piper William Laurie, who was at the Battle of the Somme.
Here is the animated film.
The song and the film has been shown and shared as part of a number of WW1 commemorations in Bridport, Dorset and will inspire other community events and projects.
One of these projects is to work with Bridport Youth and Boys dance with their artistic director Nikki Northover and her assistant choreographer Amie Symes.
Using the film and the melody 9 young dancers will create a new work to be shown at two venues in Bridport.
Creating the film and dance includes researching with Bridport Museum and Heritage Centre, looking at artefacts to explore costume making and working with film and images to create the choreography.
Opera Circus raised funding through the Heritage Lottery Fund and Bridport Town Council to help fund Bridport Youth Dance’s new choreography and performances, the local musicians and recording of the Light to the Darkness song with children and to support the making of the film and animation.
The work in progress of the dance will be shown at The Complete Freedom of Truth’s Bridport Residency during the week of the February half term 2019 (18 – 24).
Bridport Youth Dance will show the final work as part of a journey of dance in March 2019.
