LEEDS CANVAS 2012
Our Artistic Directors for Canvas 2012 are the Brothers Quay.
The Brothers will be working with composers, choreographers, artists and makers from the region and beyond to realise Canvas 2012.
Over the weekend of 18th-20th May 2012 they will transform parts of the city and the streets in between into OverWorlds & UnderWorlds, a place where myth penetrates the everyday, where the imagined becomes real and the real imagined. Worlds around us we have known all our lives, worlds beneath us we have only heard about, worlds we have yet to discover. The journey has just begun, a story told in the OverWorld. We know it will end under the Dark Arches where the Aire flows, we know it will end on that May weekend next year, everything between is an adventure. The city our canvas.
You just have time to catch Dormitorium, an exhibition in Leeds Town Hall Crypt of the miniature sets, puppets and props used by the Quay Brothers in their extraordinary films. Presented by Leeds Met Gallery & Studio Theatre and Leeds Art Gallery in association with Leeds Canvas.
