Still from Staithe by Nikki Tomlinson & Lucy Cash

Staithe is a video distillation of a 3-year performance project, saw, looking at memory, habits and the nature of change.

Filmed on Burnham Overy beach in Norfolk in 2005, it was later re-cut by artist Lucy Cash as a single-screen video. Earlier versions involved a performance operating as a duet between live and pre-recorded material. The original version was a 25min solo performed live with no film, and with sound by The Magnetic Fields and Blondie.

Staithe was presented in:
Dance & The Other curated by Joe Moran for The Place
Intimacy Across Visceral and Digital Performance symposium at Goldsmith
Falling Wide's Outsider Dancing programme at Toynbee Studios
Chisenhale Biennale curated by Richard Layzell and Alana Jelinek at Chisenhale Studios
