A dynamic collaboration between Restless Dance Theatre and screen media company Closer Productions, NECESSARY GAMES is a triptych of dance works made specifically for the screen. The young members of Restless ensemble, who predominantly have an intellectual disability, worked with the Closer Productions team to develop these polished films. With three different takes on intimacy and connection and three explorations of the games we play, NECESSARY GAMES delivers honest, idiosyncratic movement and documents compelling interactions. The triptych forms a complete work, or each film is available separately. Part 2: SIXTEEN: A coming-of-age game about nervousness, joy, desire and intimacy, and the connections a young woman will, did or might have in her life. Jianna moves through a series of moments caught between anticipation and realisation. WITH: Kat Worth (Co-Director & Choreographer). Created in collaboration with and featuring performers Jianna Georgiou, Andrew Pandos, Stuart Scott, Mario Spate.
