SUMMARY:screening: Anthos – Surface Area Dance Theatre
DESCRIPTION:UK\n\nBookings for the Augmented Reality Experience (Apple Vision Pro):\nDuring the day, the audience will have the unique opportunity to experience the work as a personal, immersive showcase using the Apple Vision Pro augmented reality headset. The experience is available in specific time slots with limited capacity, with an admission fee of €5 per slot.\nDue to the strictly limited number of slots, pre-booking is required. Please fill out the form below to select your preferred time slot; detailed instructions on how to complete your payment will be sent to your confirmation email.\nNote: Later in the evening, a screening of the work on screen will also take place,  followed by an open discussion with the artists and the audience, with interpretation in Greek Sign Language (GSL) and, if needed, in International Sign or British Sign Language (BSL).\n\nTitled Anthos — from the Ancient Greek ἄνθος, meaning “flower” — the film explores themes of growth, transformation, and artistic collaboration.\nThe choreography engages Sir Jacob Epstein’s sculpture Adam (1938), culminating in an innovative dance-for-camera short film filmed on location at Harewood House, and the Himalayan sensory garden (UK).\nThe film features D/deaf dance artist Christopher Fonseca, whose choreography — marked by fluidity, precision, and emotional depth — engages with Adam’s sensuality.\nAdam, standing over seven feet tall and carved from a single piece of Derbyshire Alabaster, has been part of Harewood House since 1976. In Adam, we sense a sensuality fuelling dialogue on identity, belonging, humanity, and meaning—central to both Epstein’s work and our film.\nAs movement specialists, we also highlight Epstein’s under recognised contribution to Modernism and “for bringing direct carving to Britain.”\nAccessibility and inclusion are central to Anthos, available in formats accessible to all, particularly D/deaf and disabled audiences.\nAnthos was made possible by Arts Council England and the Henry Moore Foundation, with special thanks to Harewood House for their support throughout.\nDuration: 5′26″  min.\nCredits\nDirected by: Nicholas Singleton and Nicole Vivien Watson\nExecutive Producer and Movement Director: Nicole Vivien Watson\nDirector of Photography and Post-production: Nicholas Singleton\nPerformed and adapted by: Christopher Fonseca\nMusic Composer: Tom White\nFinal Sound Design: Tom White\nMastering: Sean McCann\nProduction Assistant: Sara Chezari\nBritish Sign Language Interpreters: Tom Hartshorne and Katie Ho\nHimalayan Garden Consultant: Trevor Nicholson\nShooting Location: Harewood House\nANTHOS has been realised with support using public funding by Arts Council England and a grant award from the Henry Moore Foundation.\nWith special thanks to Harewood House for their welcoming support and enthusiasm throughout the making of this project.\nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/1060080822?fl=ls&fe=ec\n\n\n\n\n			\n	{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@id":"#arve-vimeo-1060080822","@type":"VideoObject","embedURL":"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1060080822?dnt=1&app_id=122963&transparent=0&title=1&byline=0&portrait=0&autoplay=1"}\n\n \nSurface Area Dance Theatre\nSurface Area Dance Theatre (SADT) is an award-winning inclusive arts company based in Northeast England.
