Brochures, flyers and dance magazines were scattered and hung around the room showcasing the wide range of dance activities that Greenwich Dance offered, as well as its rich history. The brochures and leaflets spanned across the 30 years of Greenwich Dance (including its previously named Greenwich Dance Agency) and showed the extent Greenwich Dance had contributed to the dance industry, as well as what it had provided to dance professionals and its community.

A rolling film played on a large projector navigating through a photography archive of Greenwich Dance classes, events, training, community projects, festivals and performances. The video was layered with movement material of the participants from the workshop process. This layering acted as a link between the history of Greenwich Dance and the participants active present of Greenwich Dance being closed down. This link acted as a form of ‘keeping the flame alive’; to not let Greenwich Dance be forgotten and for participants to keep their connection with the organisation. ‘Keeping the flame alive’ frequently occurred in group discussions and was a key concept in our process and the public sharings.

The space was filled with personal artefacts from the participants time at Greenwich Dance. These objects hold memories for the participants and served as a physical memory in the space, extending on what Greenwich Dance provided for its community, these artefacts offered a glimpse into what Greenwich dance had provided for them as individuals.

The audience were guided into the space using dividers so that the ‘performance’ space and installation was hidden until the audience had passed by the context information of the performance. This consisted of article headlines in regards to the closure of Greenwich Dance and the funding cuts that led to its closure.
