Charlotte Edmonds - "Goldfish"

From the confines of a station waiting room, Charlotte Edmonds looks to dance as a physical representation of sensory overload
A former resident at The Royal Ballet, Edmonds evolved the film's choreography from live performance, Generation Goldfish, premiered with the Bayerisches Staatsballett in Munich - who supported the film's creation along with Arts Council England. Playing on the concept of having the "attention span of a goldfish", and influenced by the research of neuroscientist Crawford Winlove, Goldfish is a testament to mental and emotional grounding in testing moments, and the coping mechanisms we create to silence the noise that can threaten to overwhelm us in a time when racing thoughts and the conflict of external influence is an ever-present concern.

Adam Csoka Keller - "The Rite"

When Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring was first premiered in 1913, its' groundbreaking use of ballet composition and choreography was seen as so scandalous a riot broke out. For the 106th anniversary of this piece, Culture Device held a 10-week residency at the Royal Opera House, reimagining and reinterpreting this ballet. The first dance troupe of its kind, Culture Device, is a group comprised solely of extraordinary dancers with Down syndrome. Directed by Adam Csoka Keller, the film presents the dancers' fantastic work and their views on working in the arts, the nature of spring and having an extra chromosome. The result encapsulates the revolutionary spirit of the original Rite of Spring, and the ballet Russe.
