      • Change #1 - A compilation of dance solos and complex dance partnering sequences filmed using different camera angles that accentuate the shapes formed by the dancers.none130 mins£24.99The multi-award-winning dance film Amelia (2002) explores the use of point technique using extended intertwining solos, complex partnering sequences and extreme speed to generate powerful performances with unexpected moments of tender emotion and serenity. <newline>Lock uses intricate choreography for both camera and dancers, creating amazing and constantly shifting points of view. Trademark performances, brilliant and relentless, combined with the delicate sensual lighting of André Turpin and the minimalist environment of a giant wooden box with rounded forms that seems to have no exit, create a disturbingly exquisite and moving experience. The original score, written by David Lang for violin, cello, piano and voice, combines evocative minimalism with lyrics from five of Lou Reed[apost]s most famous works, created in the 60s for the Velvet Underground. <newline> <newline>LaLaLa Human Steps: Andrea Boardman, Nancy Crowley, Mistaya Hemingway, Keir Knight, Chun Hong Li, Bernard Martin, Jason Shipley-Holmes, Billy Smith, Naomi Stikeman, Zofia Tujaka <newline>Musical composition: David Lang <newline>Musicians: Alexandre Castonguay cello, Simon Claude violin, Njo Kong Kie piano &amp; musical direction, Nadine Medawar vocalist25 years La La La Human Steps with a production overview, fact sheets and unique video and photo material from celebrated productions including Human Sex, 2, Salt, New Demons and Infante c’est destroy <newline> <newline>On-screen biographies of all the artists and the main creative crewnone130 mins£24.99http://www.opusarte.com/>
