‘To live many lives in one’: Laura Knight & the Bodies of Performance

7.30pm (GMT/UK time)

Laura Knight’s life-long passion for capturing the visual dynamics of bodies in action led her to engage with an extraordinary spectrum of performance forms which extended from boxing, ballet and circus to the scenarios of backstage processes of creative preparation.  This talk will explore the diversity of Laura Knight’s ‘theatre’ while identifying some of the key individuals who facilitated her access.

The Speaker:
