Foley is a sound-effect technique used in film to construct a sense of reality within a scene. Sounds on screen are recreated in post-production using unlikely objects and body movements, amplifying the image in a way that’s so convincing we can forget to doubt. “Slip” connects the illusion of Foley to the complexity of our present reality, where almost everything around us is processed, and we find ourselves entangled in acts of delay and deferral.
Originally created as a short piece for the Keir Choreographic Award in 2022, “Slip” has been developed into a new, full-length work. Dancer Rebecca Jensen (Deep Soulful Sweats) and award-winning musician Aviva Endean (Token Armies) perform together, de-coupling sound and image in a dance work that is both witty and mesmerising.
