| Gary Clarke’s COAL |

| COAL was created in August 2007 by Barnsley choreographer Gary Clarke over a 5 week residency at the Yorkshire Dance Centre in response to Gary’s upbringing and family life in Grimethorpe. As a witness to the heart wrenching results of the 1984 miners’ strike, Gary wanted to explore the gritty realities of a miner’s life and try to translate this into the art of movement. This tour celebrates the 25th anniversary of the strike. Press quotes: ‘COAL’ succeeds in all of its creator’s intentions.. to translate into dance the harsh physical realities of mining within an easily understandable narrative structure’ The Barnsley Chronicle 2007 ‘COAL’ is a compelling and riveting work’ ‘Skilfully crafted COAL takes the audience on a journey of intense physicality’ Dr Christy Adair 2007. This event is part of NE Lincs Arts Forum Festival 2009 |
