Pandemic Behaviours were a series of short dance films created in response to the time spent in lockdown. A highlight of the absurdity of the new norm and of our relationship to it, these films were an opportunity for ADP to create together, even when apart.
During the period of isolation, ADP artists kept sane, creative and physical by making a series of experimental dance films that respond to this strange existence during lock down in covid-19. Over the coming weeks/months of lockdown the series unfolded using the tech, spaces and themes at the disposal of the artists. Audiences followed our adventures online, a way to keep connected to our audiences and community. Some supported us via Patreon along the way.
Artists: Alison Plevey, Ryan Stone, Alana Stenning, Olivia Fyfe, Steve Gow.
