The chances are that anyone attending the weekend of dance work presented by Southbank Centre Artist in Residence, Rafael Bonachela at The Royal Festival Hall will have seen a film by dancer Theo Clinkard and film-maker Mariko Montpetit. The striking green Harlequin Reversible dance floor featured in the film evoked the open green space of a floodlit stadium providing a focal interest in the surrounding darkness. The intention being to create a vast, stark, empty space with the green floor seemingly hovering in a black void where Theo then embarks on performing the choreography. Described as " a film about the making of a dance", part documentary, it follows Theo Clinkard as " he embarks on creating a dance without choreography for the very first time"
