Darkened Room – a Siobhan Davies Dance Summer Youth Commission 2015 with
the Photographers Gallery
Thank you for your interest in Darkened Room, Summer Youth Commission. This is an exciting
opportunity to be involved in the creation of a newly commissioned work with choreographer Frederick
Opoku-Addaie.
Darkened Room is a partnership project with the Photographers Gallery bringing together choreography
with the gallery’s permanent camera obscura, exploring how a dance work can be viewed in different
ways both live on-site and through the lens. The camera obscura produces an inverted image of the
outside projects onto a darkened space within the gallery.
You will be working towards a new work which will performed on Saturday 1st August that can be seen
both on the street outside the gallery or on a screen in the darkened space of the camera obscura. The
performance is free so please invite friends and family.
