Short Film: The Next Dawn, The Next Spring
Event details
Part of Storyhouse Childless
The next dawn, the next spring is a video made with 12 women singing songs to the sea, composed from words by choir leader Claire Ingleheart. Filmed at dusk and dawn around the rock pool at Newtrain Bay, Trevone in Cornwall.
The workshops, the film and its future screenings are motivated by Melanie Stidolphs experiences of infertility and childlessness. The next dawn, the next spring came from a desire to make space for women struggling to have children and those who are childless not by choice. The project aims to give a voice to unheard experience and make room for joy.
The project was developed through workshops held at Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange as part of the exhibition We Are Floating in Space, 11 February – 3 June 2023. To see more about the shape of the project please follow the link here – newlynartgallery.co.uk/stidolph/
