Titled Anthos \u2014 from the Ancient Greek \u1f04\u03bd\u03b8\u03bf\u03c2, meaning \u201cflower\u201d \u2014 the film explores themes of growth, transformation, and artistic collaboration.
\nThe choreography engages Sir Jacob Epstein\u2019s 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 \u2014 marked by fluidity, precision, and emotional depth \u2014 engages with Adam\u2019s 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\u2014central to both Epstein\u2019s work and our film.
\nAs movement specialists, we also highlight Epstein\u2019s under recognised contribution to Modernism and \u201cfor bringing direct carving to Britain.\u201d
\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.<\/p>\n
