Recreating Rudolph Laban’s die Grunen Clowns, 1928

Synopsis
A recreation, by Trinity Laban students, of the Laban’s Die Grünen Clowns, a response to the dehumanising aspects of modernity following the 1st World War. The performance of the short work is followed by a 50-minute documentary, directed by Lesley-Anne Sayers, discussing the piece and its reconstruction by Alison-Curtis-Jones, based on resources researched by Valerie Preston-Dunlop. The methodology and cultural context are presented through discussions with Ramsay Burt and footage of the dancers’ rehearsals.
