Meet the Artists
We had the great pleasure to witness a unique and collaborative video work created by choreographer Rosemary Lee and filmmaker Roswitha Chesher. The seven-screen video installation, called Orchard Portraits, showcases senior performers and primary school children.
This inspiring piece of work was shot in the historic wild orchard at West Horsley Place. Rosemary and Roswithea shared with us their creative process behind the making of this extraordinary installation.
Visit Surrey Hills Arts for more information on Orchard Portraits and other inspiring projects.
