Falling (and getting up again)

Tedd Robinson's work was largely image-based and non-narrative. In this original screendance, he is surrounded by his immediate environment at his residence, known as The Schoolhouse, where he journeys to a dream-like state. Using elaborate costumes and props from his archives, and with a music and voice composition by Charles Quevillon busing Henry Purcell's famous aria Dido's Lament as a base, he employs movement to dramatic and sorrowful effect as he takes the viewer into the realm of his imagination. A profoundly moving metaphor on loves lost and the fragility of life, which takes on disquieting significance since Tedd's untimely passing in August 2022.
