Angela Woodhouse as a dance artist is concerned with articulating highly charged atmospheres, which are quiet and powerful, minimal and intense. More…
Dance & Spectacle
Angela Woodhouse and Caroline Broadhead presented a performance intervention as part of The Society of Dance History Scholars Conference on Saturday 10that The Place. The performer was Stine Nilsen. There were many interesting papers being given and we hoped to affect the debate on the notion of Spectacle within dance performance.

New Work for 2009
Sighted - in collaboration with Caroline Broadhead
Choreographer Angela Woodhouse and Jerwood Prize-winning visual artist Caroline Broadhead generate a compelling interplay of dance, materials and light to explore detail and intimacy, creating highly charged, atmospheric experiences.
Sighted is their new installation for solo performer, Stine Nilsen (current co-artistic director and former dancer of Candoco Dance Co), which will be running at regular intervals for up to twelve viewers at a time. Surrounded by an expansive carpet of mirrors, Stine, with eyes closed, performs a fabric of delicate gestures.
SIGHTED is concerned with our capacity to see and the urge to be looked at. It explores the fundamental need to find recognition and the distinctions between public and private experience.
"An unusual and thoroughly refreshing work of quiet seduction" Donald Hutera – Dance Europe (Court at Sadler's Wells November 2006)
