Diva
A jaded dance diva processes up the red carpet. Craving the attention she deserves, she performs a magnificent reconstruction from 1927 of the little known work Largo. Since nobody gives a fig she blows a dance raspberry and performs an impromptu rendition of Ranki Panki circa 2007. Diva is where fact and fiction collide, archive and reportage rupture.

Funded by the University of Brighton Faculty Research Support Fund, Diva was acquired for inclusion in Channel 4’s The ABC OF DANCE4 transmission 2009, and has been shown on ABC Australia in 2007.
