16 films to rethink dance and archive
Part of Siobhan Davies Studios' 20th Anniversary celebrations taking place across 2026.
Kicking off the 20th Anniversary of SDS is Artists Archive Film Night the latest iteration of our Artist Archive programme which continues to give visibility to dance artists and their work that is in danger of being dismissed, forgotten and lost.
How can we collectively change what archiving can be and who gets to have one?
How might archiving serve future generations to look back on and see themselves mirrored and encouraged by what is archived?
Join us to explore and experience a range of practices, approaches and movement qualities, to question what we must not forget and what we should remember. Expect the unexpected, a collection of thought and emotion-provoking films that invite us to rethink dance and archive through the lens of incredible artists, many of whom have never been presented at the studios before.
This event will take place throughout the studios. Find out about our amenities or watch a video tour of the building head to our visit us page. The event is 4.30hrs long to allow all films to be screened in our Roof Studio. However we do not anticipate that everyone will come for the full duration of the event (though you are welcome to!). Throughout the evening, screenings will also take place in other areas of the building, giving you a chance to watch a number of films. We will release a full timetable a week before the event to help you plan your visit. There will also be a physical programme on the night to guide you.
