State of Flux DanceFilm Company is a vibrant company
dedicated to the creation of fresh, exciting and original work

Director Heather Eddington leads the company of inspirational artists in exploring the possibilities of dancefilm and highly innovative dancefilm installation work where movement, images and environment blend and the performance begins.
Eddington's sensitive, quirky and adventurous style, has lead her to find a language within dancefilm which is refreshing and very much her own.
CURRENT PROJECTS:
A BLANK CANVAS
Supported by Arts Council England East, “A blank canvas” blends the mediums of dance, film, animation and sculpture into a dancefilm installation. The piece is designed to be shown either as a short film in a performance context or exhibited in a range of spaces such as galleries and foyers and which can remain in each space for any specified period of time.
“At first glance the exhibition of elaborate, framed pictures mounted onto the walls appears perfectly normal… or at least would do if only the artist could get her subjects to stay still!”
Heather Eddington’s latest offering utilises a host of delightfully eccentric and playful characters to both play with and challenge our perceptions of depth, perimeters, reality and subconscious.
Through residencies at The Sainsbury’s Centre for Visual Arts and at DanceEast , choreographer Heather Eddington has collaborated with a range of highly gifted and innovative artists to create “A blank canvas”. Heather Eddington trained under David Hinton at The Place, and has already created and displayed works at The Pulse Festival, Dance for Screen and The Junction. With the increased financial backing behind this latest piece Heather is looking to develop links with further local and national venues with a view to creating an exciting and mutually beneficial working relationship.

CURIOUS
by State of Flux Dancefilm Company
Through the unique blending of sculpture and dancefilm a visually absorbing three-dimensional environment is created. Two curious characters tentatively move over and through the curvaceous shapes, spaces and intricacies of this new world they inhabit with a rising sense of confidence, surprise and inventiveness.
Curious dancefilm installation is an enthralling collaboration between Director and Choreographer Heather Eddington and Sculptor Nyanda Yekwai.
These two talented and inspirational young artists have come together to create a distinctive performance style where art forms fuse seamlessly together.
