Swarm Sculptures is a new durational movement installation created by dance artist Lucy Suggate.

Influenced by swarm intelligence as a choreographic process and the body as sculpture, the work will be sited in galleries and other public spaces in Nottingham and Northampton during Autumn 2016.

Based in Yorkshire, Lucy’s practice encompasses an expanded approach to making dance and choreography. Her work is centred on integrating conceptual thinking with a movement practice to produce engaging and articulate work.

Produced by Dance4. Commissioned by Dance4, Yorkshire Dance and NN Contemporary Art, Northampton.
Supported by Nottingham Contemporary, Dance Base and Dancing Museums. Using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
