Shobana Jeyasingh’s latest work Staging Schiele is an extraordinary reflection of Egon Schiele and his controversial picture of the human body.
Jeyasingh’s award-winning choreography matches the intensity of Schiele, engaging with his anxieties as well as his supreme self-confidence.
Staging Schiele captures the artist’s own self-conscious framing of himself and his work. Both intimate and formal, it throws light on his brief meteoric rise to fame.
If you missed the performances you have now an exclusive chance to watch the full piece online on 15th November 2019 at 5pm (UK Time) on Staging Schiele’s Facebook page or YouTube channel.
Jeyasingh is joined by composer Orlando Gough, visual artist Ben Cullen Williams, lighting designer Adam Carree and costume designer Cottweiler. The dancers featured are Sunbee Han and Catarina Carvelho.
