"I've found recently it's been important to remember that in all these things we do and make, we are referencing life. And life in fact is unrelenting."
- Holly Blakey
In Everything Is: Choreography was a cinema takeover like you’ve never seen; held in Dalston's iconic Rio Cinema.
Led by punk choreographer Holly Blakey, the event involved a diverse cast including: filmmaker Clayton Vomero, model Naomi Shimada, rapper Naeem (fka Spank Rock, and six dancers PERFORMING LIVE.
The collaboration marks the launch of a new series of experimental cinema nights and sees Blakey choreograph video, dance, music, and living room conversation in a cinema setting for a surreal and immersive vision of performance in the everyday.
