'A Walk in the Park' 

Victorian dance film brings together Swindon's artistic talent

 

There was a collaboration of some of Swindon's top artistic talent in Queen's Park this weekend.

 

Locally-based dancers, make-up artists and filmmakers came together to turn the park into a dance film set for a short piece called 'A Walk in the Park'.

 

Inspired by the past: filming of 'A Walk in the Park' at Queen's Park

 

"A film which touches on the echoes of time and space," said director Jamie Bullock.

 

"We set up scenes featuring a Georgian tea party & Victorian croquet, and also views of life in the park on a close up scale, like the dance of a caterpillar and the silent but beautiful growth of a flower.

 

"It's all gone really well and the weather has been perfect."

 

 

"With costumes, hair and make-up designed and applied by Swindon Colleges Media Make-up students, dance and movement derived by Swindon-based Dance Company Swerve, and the film created by Funkton Films, this 'Alice in Wonderland' dance film promises to be a great collaboration of just some of Swindon's talented artists," Jamie added.
