Falmouth Docks and dance, music and film are not an obvious partnership, but that is exactly what will be happening there on tonight.

A&P Falmouth offered one of its buildings as the venue for the performance after being approached by Falmouth University graduate Grace Clayton. RULES is Grace’s first piece of independent choreography and will feature seven undergraduate second year performers from the university.

She said: “The piece is based on the idea of breaking social rules and my hope was to organise a performance in early 2015 in a warehouse space, which proved to be far more challenging than originally anticipated.

“I approached A&P and they kindly offered to show me round and see what |we could do. Since then it has all |been incredible, A&P’s support and generosity has been amazing and I couldn’t have asked for more.

“I also need to thank the amazing team at AMATA (Academy of Music and Theatre Arts) at Falmouth University in so many ways, especially the technical team who have been incredible at helping me bring the evening to life.”

Peter Child, managing director at A&P Falmouth, said: “The Docks are such an integral part of the fabric of Falmouth and so we are always enthusiastic to support the local community when possible. Hosting an arts event in an industrial setting may well be a first for us in the docks but we were only too happy to help out.”

The event at 8.30pm on Saturday will feature a video installation, which Grace has collaborated on with film student Luca Parasiliti, the dance piece itself, a performance by artist Dominic Allen, and a DJ set by Paul Kelly and Alex Smith with VJing by Emma Walsh.
