Film Works with Sally Potter

“In the mid 70s, having met at the London School of Contemporary Dance, Sally Potter and I co-founded Limited Dance Company, a performing duo of two. The name Limited Dance Company illustrated the paradox in our work, for although we related to theatrical and dance traditions, enjoying the pleasures of performance, we could not be said to be part of a mainstream of dance activity or even the fringe. Disciplined or skilled physical performance was simply one of the elements in works that were primarily image based and certainly came closer to the category of Performance Art than to any other. This experience has given us a shared language, at times useful shorthand that I have been able to draw on when working on Sally’s films as an actress and choreographer.”
