Shakespeare's Othello, a theatrical dance interpretation for the South London 'A Time To Breathe' Festival of music, dance, poetry. "Othello is performed by Folu Odimayo, choreographed by Ballet Soul. As Folu unleashes his full expression as a dancer in an electric performance, I follow in flow, exploring and capturing the pure essence through 'moving' stills. 'A Time To Breathe' is a new cross-genre festival, striving to revitalise cultural and artistic knowledge. After 2 years deprived of live arts, the desire to be moved by artistic excellence was as visceral as the need for fresh air."
