Tacita Dean: Craneway Event Review ~ Sarah Crompton

Published in The Daily Telegraph, May 2010

In November 2008, she recorded three days of rehearsals for one of his “events” – selections from his works specially staged. But he died the following year, aged 90, before her film was finished. That turns an artistic record of one of the most important figures in contemporary dance into something more: an elegy, an epitaph, a memorial to the genius of creation. It is 110 minutes long, shown at specific times, and though you can wander in and out, it is so magical that you won’t want to.
