Dance sculptures
Someone once said that ‘dance is sculpture visible for only a moment’ and Tango is perhaps that perfect moment. Gill and Nigel asked me to photograph and design a promotion for their joint Tango passion. The above is a double-sided DL format promo card (⅓ A4).
Gill and Nigel are both Argentine Tango fanatics who just happen to love playing, as well as dancing, to Argentine Tango. Having retired early, they hit on the idea of DJing to raise money for the Magies Cancer Centres. Nigel Allen said: “Roland designed and photographed the most amazing promotional tango card for us. His photography is breathtaking, and his suggestions on design and format were so inventive, I cannot thank him enough, he is a delight to work with, thank you again Roland for everything”.
The centre (above) designed for no fee by Norman Foster, is part of a 21 nationwide group of Centres created to help anyone affected by cancer. By travelling anywhere and everywhere in the UK, as well as putting 100% of their performance income towards Maggies, they have been able to raise considerable sums for their local Centre in Cheshire. If you wish to book the two for a bespoke Tango event, you will find their contact details on the card above.
