Nature Inside

imprint is a partnership between Dance Artist and Creative Practitioner Anne Colvin and Digital Artist Matthew Bartram. They approached us for assistance with shooting their latest project, Nature Inside. Nature Inside is a participatory dance and film project explored and devised with children and young people from Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and a trio of contemporary dancers. Through a series of creative workshops with participants at GOSH, they have gathered stories and memories of nature which will inform two dance films filmed in different wild and natural locations. The content of the films will authentically respond to participants’ connections with their wild spaces, interpreting their real and imagined experiences – and their movement vocabulary. The films will then be used as part of live interactive events at Great Ormond Street Hospital and local participating primary schools, as well as shared publicly through social media platforms.

We ensured everything was in place and permitted for them to shoot up at the stunning Seven Sisters Country Park at the end of April 2023. They chose that location because it has “varied terrain, landscapes and open spaces which will work to create rich visuals and offer plenty of space to create movement and dance in.” 

And the results certainly show that!
