Room 1.04 – ‘Cinéma de Danse’ (Dance Cinema)
Lumiere
At every age and skill level Blackpool is a global centre for dance of almost every kind – from Northern Soul, Street, Hip Hop and Punk to ballet, and of course, ballroom!
about
Blackpool’s iconic Winter Gardens and Tower ballrooms host world championship competitions, TV shows and social dancing with ballroom dancers travelling from all over the world for the unique experience of gliding over the sprung wooden floors of these dance palaces.
(Michael Day, the chief executive of Historic Royal Palaces, said of Blackpool’s ballrooms “They are spectacular. Buckingham Palace hasn’t got anything that good.”)
Room 1.04 has a very large projection screen, cinema seats and its own collection of films with a strong dance theme – from ‘Saturday Night Fever’ to ‘They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?’ (which is also the name of the 20-year-old giant mirrorball artwork on the South Shore Promenade).
Biography
Little is known about the French artist-activists collective known as Lumiere after the famous French brothers who developed the early Cinématographe machine (from which cinema takes its name).
Their practice revolves around curating films which distil the essence of a particular time and place.
