Score for 30 Dancers is part of From Morning, a day of dance at Hawksmoor's Christ Church Spitalfields curated by Florence Peake. From Morning invites six contemporary artists to create new, or adapt existing, works to inhabit the distinct spaces of the church finding new resonances with its architecture. Moran responds to this invitation by creating a closely scored, large group improvisation for the main church space that will be viewed from above: aerially from the church balconies.
