   The stalls showed off the work of some talented Nottingham designers, temporary ramps were in place to celebrate the most active users of the Square- its skateboarders, a live music stage hosted some great acts and, most challenging and impressive of all, graffiti artists brought the shutters of the burned-out units bordering the square to life. Nice one CQ. | Meanwhile at Hermitage Square, Dance4 brought the Aomori Project's piece 'Repetition' to Sneinton. It was extraordinary to see contemporary dance in downtown Sneinton- while busses trundled past and a group of guys tried to sell a car just up the street.  The piece was performed outdoors on a floor mat, in front of a small audience and to the bemusement of passers-by. The choreography involved an amazing sequence of perfectly coordinated moves on the mat between the two main dancers. Over the course of the performance my thoughts changed from seeing this as something quite bizarre into questioning why this kind of thing doesn't happen all the time- maybe this blend of art and everyday life just makes sense in Sneinton? Thank you Dance4! |
