a dancing life
2005

Through the medium of film and dance performance, three generations of artists express their thoughts and feelings about their lives and experiences.

In interviews on film some of South Australia's most outstanding female dance artists - Elizabeth Cameron Dalman, Sandra Craig, Dorinda Hafner and Zora Semberova - talk with Artistic Director Leigh Warren, about their careers and significant experiences. Representing the first generation, these artists and their work have been studied by dancers who are only now hitting the peaks of their careers. The film stands alone as a documentary record of outstanding South Australian female dance artists, whose career in the arts has made a significant contribution to the artistic and cultural life of Australia.

The second generation, women who now have young families, are live in the studio. These artists respond verbally and physically to the stories and experiences of the first generation.

The third generation - current female members of Leigh Warren & Dancers - take their responses and subject matter from generations one and two, and transpose them into dance.
