Captured



Captured is a new work being developed by Balbir Singh Dance Company, exploring the dialogue between photographer and performer. What happens if the camera becomes the centre piece of a performance? How does the photographer navigate the space to capture what they need? What elements pique their interest - The dancer? The human? The emotion?

Through a series of interactive workshops and performances, Captured encourages participants to see dance through a new lens.

Huddersfield Literature Festival



On the 15th and 16th May, as part of Huddersfield Literature Festival, we held our first interactive workshops for Captured. Taking place at Lawrence Batley Theatre, with dancers Kali, Manuela and Sanchita, the sessions first saw our participants learn about capturing the perfect shot, before then putting their newfound knowledge into practice.
