A witty satire on fixation with body image and body care, Dear Body picks up where B for Body left off, continuing that most private dialogue of all, the one we have with ourselves.
Dear Body explores the great lengths to which men and women will go to achieve physical perfection. On a set by Fabrice Serafino, somewhere between a gym and a spa, with video, graphics and a specially commissioned score by David Coulter, this full-length work explores both the aspirations and the nightmares of the keep-fit fanatic.
With distinctive animation by award-winning film-maker Rachel Davies, Dear Body is played out by six company dancers and an ensemble cast of participants drawn from across the local community.
Running time: 70 minutes
