Malham Cove

First we moved on the limestone paving at Malham Cove. Sarah chose this space. We took turns to film and move; there was no discussion about what... where... how... when... we just started filming and moving Spontaneously, making connections with the environment, the camera and each other.

Sarah:

" Limestone has a secret inner world.The cavernous chambers where waters suddenly disappear from surface life. I moved with an awareness of inner and outer, giving body to my internal world."

" I moved with the idea of private in a public space,that which would normally be kept hidden, placed in the natural landscape and captured on film for prosperity."

"The morning, chilly grey, gave way to warm spring sunshine. Struggle, contemplation then a moment of celebration on the rock. My ending, a prayer of gratitude that I could in this place, at this time, truly be myself."

Tamsin:

"Being on uneven rock with plenty of small crevasses made it more challenging to film and move with the camera at the same time – having to keep my eyes on both the camera screen and the ground.

While filming I felt I was entering Sarah’s world; the decisions I took about camera angles, zooming in and out etc. were not predetermined, they were an intuitive response to the movement."
