OUR STORY SO FAR
Look Kloser has grown over two years. In that time there has been an exhibition at Sun Pier House in Chatham, a short film screened as part of a local film festival and a residency with Kent Dance Network. Take a look at the various events and projects that we have been part of. Look Kloser continuously strives to create and seek opportunities to perform and exhibit.
EVERY DAY PEOPLE ARE SUPERHEROES TOO
September 2014
The performing arts group started up early 2014 and set out to create a short film.
A quirky story created by chance; intertwined with superheroes based on the individual strengths within the group. Everyone created their own character and all decisions were made as a group.
"WINTER:____"
October 2014-Jan 2015
"Winter:___" was an exploration of the coldest time of year. This was a collaboration with Sun Pier House in Chatham and three other professional artists. One day a week we explored winter through movement, art and photography. At the end there was an exhibition and dance performance in the gallery space at Sun Pier House. This project was supported with funding from Ideas Test.
