Theo Clinkard pursued a film concept constructed around the making of a dance. The green Harlequin Reversible floor was specified to evoke the open green space of a floodlit stadium at night, where the illuminated grass is surrounded by darkness. Into this vast, stark and empty space with the green floor seemingly hovering in a black void, Theo embarks on performing the choreography. Described as “a film about the making of a dance”, part documentary, it follows Theo Clinkard as “he embarks on creating a dance without a choreographer for the very first time.”
Harlequin Reversible is a double-sided calendered vinyl stage floor consisting of a complex “sandwich”, providing a slip resistant surface on both sides. These special wear-coats are easy to maintain and they are approved by dancers as a loose-lay floor on stage and in the studio. Harlequin Reversible is also available in other pairs of colours to the green and yellow flooring used in this instance.
