A screening of the atmospheric Lockdown Portraits, which brings together seven solo dance performances, choreographed over Zoom during lockdown by Sir Robert Cohan.
Each piece was shot on a location, from a windy, desolate beach and a graffiti-strewn tunnel to the empty stage of the Royal Opera House. Set to music by Nils Frahm and Ólafur Arnalds, these intimate choreographed conversations tell personal yet universal stories of isolation, loss and survival with Cohan harnessing the power of dance to express the triumph of the human spirit.
