| Description |
Northern Soul is a one-woman show about Victoria Melody’s attempts at joining in. Her unusual ethnographic approach to performance has found her living with pigeon fanciers for a year and learning to northern soul dance in stranger’s living rooms.
Victoria immerses herself into other peoples worlds and examines national characteristics and regional phenomena, focusing on the extraordinary in the everyday.
An idiosyncratic treasure trove of films, photos, dance and paraphernalia illuminate Victoria’s journey in this comedic, engaging and hopeful performance. |
