Stopgap Dance Company’s award-winning film ARTIFICIAL THINGS was released on Facebook and UA-cam when the social distancing measures to combat Covid-19 came into force commonplace almost globally.
Filmed on location in a derelict suburban shopping mall and featuring an ensemble of disabled and non-disabled dancers, the film explores human interdependence, strength, and vulnerability. The film is a re-imagining of the stage work of the same name and dancers Amy Butler, Laura Jones, Chris Pavia, David Willdridge and Dave Toole, who devised the original piece, all appear in the film.
The choreographer Lucy Bennett and the film director Sophie Fiennes felt that the themes explored in the film resonate with what the world is experiencing currently. The film builds up towards an end with positive explosive energy, and it is hoped the audience will take a moment to watch this film and feel somewhat comforted by it during this period of uncertainty.
ARTIFICIAL THINGS was the winner of the prestigious dancescreen award in the category of SCREEN CHOREOGRAPHY OVER 15 MINUTES. In selecting the film as the winner, the jury said ‘This film’s cinematic vision speaks to the depth of human experience through the metaphor of a supermarket. The jury responded to the strength of the ensemble and a non-hierarchical vision of corporeal expression.’ Thank you for watching...

Thank you so much for the AD. Love both the description and the vocal delivery. As a describer who has only done theatre work to date, I found this beyond helpful. Inspirational. Hope the current crisis is offering you opportunities to continue exploring accessibility on line.
