White Spider Set Design

Sets for Jennifer Mascall Dance. Based on Heinrich Harrer’s 1935 book of the first successful assent of the North Face of the Eiger. The sets were dynamic and dangerous and tangled with mountain climbing vernacular. A drawing machine was also included in the choreography. One of the dancers body’s was connected by strings to the drawing device controls. Her seemingly erratic movements would translate into text on a paper scroll.

Premiered at The International Dance Festival at the Roundhouse 2010
