FROM HERE.....

Upswing presented From Here... commissioned by the Mayor of London's Liberty Festival at Trafalgar Square on Saturday 5 September 2009. Click on the image to see a video. 

Performed by Rowena Deletante
Choreographed by Vicki Amedume

A simple line is drawn from the ground into the air. A woman stands before the pole at a turning point. Is it an obstacle or an escape route? How can she move on from here, how can she put all the pieces back together?

From here... is Rowena's first performance on the pole since an accident in 2006 halted her training. The piece explores her redefined abilities by subverting traditional techniques and mixing them with dance and actor movement to create a unique style.

The performance is part of Liberty, a festival celebrating the achievements of disabled artists.
