Dancers respond to untitled: girl ii (2019), by Phyllida Barlow | When Forms Come Alive

We invited two dancers to improvise a response to artworks within the Hayward Gallery exhibition, When Forms Come Alive.
Hua and Vanessa Tan move around untitled: girl ii (20019), a sculpture of polystyrene and plaster by Phyllida Barlow which resembles an anthropomorphic rock, carefully and precariously balanced.
’Maybe I don’t think enough about beauty in my work because I’m so curious about other qualities… abstract qualities of time, weight, balance, rhythm; collapse and fatigue versus the more upright dynamic notions of maybe posture... the state that something might be in.’ Phyllida Barlow
When Forms Come Alive is at Hayward Gallery until Monday 6 May. Book now: www.southbankc...
