More Stories from the flesh
Artist/dancer/choreographer Polly Hudson will be coming back together
with Florence Peake following their critically acclaimed performances
in Birmingham, London and San Fransisco, of which the San Fransisco
Daily Starr said ...moments of pindrop perfection..'to show a new site
specific work at the Jubilee Lido, Penzance.
Working from image and from dream states. Mapping experiences spoken
from the body with the intricate weavings of the relationship between
the human soul. Exploring notions of flesh remembering and storing feelings.
“Traces of kisses resonate on my skin. Ghostly imprints of touch
on my flesh”.
This is part of a series of works that investigate the relationship
of process into sharing of material. Examining archetypes of image and
of the (female) body.

Stories from the Flesh 2005
Polly and Florence emerged from one of the changing rooms in the Jubilee pool, like two red butterflies cavorting in a meadow, roaming across the cold blue concrete surface of the art deco stairs and platforms. Their audience saw them interacting with its architecture, at times flattening themselves against its walls as if pinned up against them by the wind – buffeted from one corner to another – spinning, turning, rolling and flexing at the waist. They seemed to breath movement and life into the empty space and the dusk as it fell.
Newlyn has been home to many fine abstract artists, including Terry Frost, Paul Feiler and John Wells. Polly and Florence, who have a background as dancers, created a contemporary piece of abstract art by their performance that was given extra poignancy by the large scale of the space and the broad horizon of Newlyn Bay – painted so many times yet seen afresh at least during the duration of the performance.
