Distant Light

Distant Light was a commission from The Royal Northern Sinfonia to create a piece of choreography to Peteris Vasks Violin Concerto  which was performed alongside the orchestra as part of an evening at The Sage Gateshead in March. Anthony Lo-Giudice worked alongside Violinist Bradley Creswick and the orchestra in order to create a choreography refelective of the comission yet providing a new visual stimuli to the concerto Vasks had created. The work draws influences from Vasks origional themes of indipendance, exhile and segregation caused by the Lavtia's turbulant struggle for indipendance. The choregraphy draws upon these influences whislt reflecting the collaboration between violinist and soloist.
