London, UK. 01st Sep, 2013. Story of a Night Pianist. Final night at The Space, Westferry Road, London. September 2013 © Carole Edrich/Alamy Live News
Last night of Story of a Night Pianist at The Space, Westferry Road. London 2013. Praised for its haunting narrative, expressive choreography, and absorbing interplay of dance and live music. The performance includes live music by composer Lorenzo Turchi-Floris, whose experience of feeling a strange presence in his room when playing the piano at night inspired the work. It can also be seen in excerpt at Cloud Dance Festival, and in an outdoor version at the Bloomsbury Festival in October; the story is the subject of a new screendance project to be filmed this autumn and premiered at Halloween. During their week-long residency at The Space, the company also offered a community dance education programme. Story of a night pianist is an interdisciplinary performance choreographed by dance artist Anna Buonomo accompanied by live music, and telling the true story of a strange encounter composer Lorenzo Turchi-Floris had while playing at night. Originally commissioned for Big Dance 2012 and performed at Trinity Buoy Wharf in Docklands, the piece returned to East London for a week-long residency. A strong character-based work, the production draws on the historical narratives of people living and working at Trinity Buoy Wharf in East London during the 19th century – characters from the past with unfinished business in the present day.
