Exim Dance Company The Birth of Memory "Distinctive, refined yet sensitive." - Preview Tour Audience Member This inclusive piece by Exim dance company is a meditation on the effort required in the present, to remember the past. Award winning choreographer Adam Benjamin delicately explores memories locked and un-locked, drawing on his collaboration with architect and composer Mathew Emmett and on the contributions of dancers, Emma Pendle, Laura Henry, Mike Williams and particularly the raw, indefinable movement quality of Kevin French whose muscles and speech are affected by cerebral palsy. Choreography: Adam Benjamin  Performers: Emma Pendle, Kevin French, Laura Henry and Mike Williams  Music: Mathew Emmett, Eduardo Miranda and Andy Cowton  Film: Kayla Parker  Film score: Stuart Moore Lighting and Production Design: Charlotte Burton and Tim Hardy  Images: Claire Summers
dc.description.abstract

Choreographed and directed by Adam Benjamin with the dancers of Exim Dance Company, Emmett’s soundscape evolved from the hybridisation of dance, sound, space and digital technology. The Birth of Memory was performed at The Place, London in January 2016, whereabouts the music emphasises the interrelationships between performative space, the cognised environment and the dynamics of movement that draws upon integrative practice and the non-traditional exploration of acoustic space.

Adam Benjamin and Mathew Emmett have been exploring performative space within contemporary dance through a number of collaborative works, where upon the impetus for The Birth of Memory has grown from an interdisciplinary practice that interrogates the spatial qualities of memories locked within our bodies.
