Tate St Ives is delighted to be working with Australian artist Rochelle Haley for the UK premiere of A Sun Dance

An ensemble of international and South West based dancers and a musician will follow the path of the sun as it passes across and through the Tate St Ives building on the equinox weekend. At its core, the work is a relation between dancer, sunlight, sound, and architecture. They will create kaleidoscopic shapes and contemplative movement and sound for audiences to encounter throughout the day.

Premiered in February 2024, A Sun Dance was originally commissioned by the National Gallery of Australia and assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body. With additional support from the Australian Research Council through research and commissioning partner Precarious Movements: Choreography and the Museum, a research project hosted by University of New South Wales, with Art Gallery of New South Wales, Monash University Museum of Art, National Gallery of Victoria, Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts and Tate.
