Born from the brief Desire and Decay, this short film is the result of an intensive week of making – where dancers, designers and make-up artists came together to build a world through movement, texture, and the lens. It’s a glimpse into the collaborative, boundary-pushing work you'll create on the new BA (Hons) Dance, Movement and Creative Practice course, where performance meets film and imagination becomes practice.

You can also listen to current student Emilie and her insights into what performance and working with a performing body means.
