A Flash of Light: The Dance Photography of Chris Nash Mon 14 Nov 11 Sun 29 Jan 12 Upper Levels Glanfa Free Over the last 25 years Chris Nash has built a reputation as one of the most outstanding photographers of his generation, and his distinctive photographs have been used to promote contemporary dance internationally. After a stint at the V&A earlier this year, his exhibition of original prints is now making its way to the Centre. A Flash of Light explores Nash s innovative and dynamic approach to photography and presents a glimpse of the contemporary dance scene to compliment some of our autumn programme of dance in the theatres. The collection shows how Nash experiments with photography, drawing on his fine art background and using lighting, composition and collage to capture the atmosphere and movement of live performance. Alongside Nash s original prints will be advertising posters featuring his photography; some you might recognise from the dance companies that have visited the Centre since its opening in 2004; two abstract video dance pieces created by Nash himself, and a specially commissioned film of the photographer at work. The exhibition will also be accompanied by quotations from choreographers and dancers talking about Nash s powerful photographs and the inspiration for the images on display. Visual Poems for Cardiff Mon 5 Dec 11 Sun 26 Feb 12 Angorfa Free To celebrate Ffresh - the Student Moving Image Festival of Wales - held in Cardiff for the first time earlier this year, the festival commissioned a series of original visual poems about the city. These films will now be screened at the Centre during the winter months for all our visitors to experience. Each filmmaker used a poem as the starting point for their work and then interpreted the verbal content into footage. Capturing the landscape, architecture and the people of Cardiff, the films are poems for the eye and a celebration of Europe s youngest capital city. Hockney s Grimms Six Fairy Tales From The Brothers Grimm Tue 14 Feb Sun 25 Mar 12 Upper Levels Glanfa Free Considered by the artist to be one of his major successes, David Hockney s Six Tales from the Brothers Grimm is a collection of prints from the original etchings he created in The exhibition encapsulates the mood of the original tales which celebrate their 200th Anniversary in 2012 and offers the perfect opportunity for you to explore the vivid images close up. In association with Beyond the Border the Wales International Storytelling Festival and Goldmark Art.

This session is open to all but has been specifically tailored to suit those of you learning Welsh.
