3D - Rosemary Butcher - 1990

It was an ambitious idea to develop a work over a year through performance and collaboration with two architects and in all three sections with composer Jim Fulkerson. d1 was performed in the ballroom of The Royal Festival Hall over Zaha Hadid's restless floor, inspired by Ley Lines. d2 collaborating with architect John Lyall, used the magnificent rawness of the, then still under restoration, Baroque church of Christ Church Spitalfields, to produce one of the most memorable dance concerts of the time. The conclusion of the third part of the work, 3D, was commissioned by Glasgow European City of Culture as part of their programme. Again working with John Lyall and Jim Fulkerson it was performed in the Tramway Theatre (originally converted for Peter Brook's Mahabharata). It is the largest and most spectacular work that Rosemary Butcher has produced and received a rapturous response from the Glasgow audience. Problems with funding from the English Arts Council's Dance Panel meant that it was not performed again.
