Replica Dance Company are a small–scale contemporary dance company co-founded and artistically directed by Hannily Bendell and Thomas Pickard. They choreographed and performed the piece which I photographed during their rehearsal.
I have a particular interest in photographing movement within dance, this lead me on to take images of Hannily and Tom.
Through discussion with Hannily and Tom, it clarified their idea and theme of their dance piece, as well as their initial influences.This is really helpful to the research and decisions I will lead towards. With decisions from their costume to setting, the youtube clips especially help me make important visual decisions to ensure that I have the best possible image.
The main idea for the piece is very simple: a man and a woman miss their train, they meet and it is about their relationship that grows from the initial meeting and whether they can be together or not.
This reviews sum up the piece well:
The story is set in 1930s New York and is partly based on the film 'Brief Encounter':
We were also influenced by the Chanel advert with Audrey Tatou:
Above are some examples of images of the 1930's fashion. Preferably would like to aim for my models to look similar to this era with extra props suchs as the briefcase which would also add character.
