Watch four dancers choreograph a response to artworks at Tate Britain
Lots of people tell us that Tate Britain's big, grand spaces make them feel like they should be still and quiet. In reality, we have no rules about how you can move through our galleries, or about the sounds you can make in them.
Corali, a leader in dance created by artists with a learning disability, have worked with Tate since 1998 and are experts in creatively taking up space in our galleries. We invited four Corali dancers to design performances in response to four artworks at Tate Britain.
THE DANCERS

Paul chose 2016 because he is passionate about the climate crisis. He feels that the painting communicates an urgent message of what is happening to our planet. The painting 2016 was made when the European migrant crisis was being heavily documented by the media. Paul has a great awareness of this. His dance strongly references the movement of waves, both in calm and stormy conditions. It also explores the emotional impact of dangerous travel.
Paul joined Corali in 2015 and is also a member of Kick Up, Corali’s youth company. Paul has recently graduated from the National Youth Dance Company (NYDC) and is now training with the CAT programme (Centre for Advanced Training) at The Place Theatre. He makes his own dance videos at Paul Davidson Dance.

Sherri loves the energy and movement of the abstract painting Distillation. She picked out the circles within it as a key motif for her choreography. Sherri wanted to show that abstract art can be a great source of inspiration.
Sherri has been with Corali’s youth company, Kick Up, since 2015. She has performed at the Southbank, Tate, Rose Theatre Kingston, Trinity Laban and Lyric Hammersmith.
