RUSHES COMPLETE ‘DANCER’S BODY’ LONGFORM PROJECT FOR BBC

The ‘Dancer's Body ‘ is a three part landmark series for BBC2 which Deborah Bull, former prima ballerina with the Royal Ballet, narrates. Deborah also performs exquisite ballet sequences within the series. The series breaks new ground in creating a bridge between science and the performing arts, making the latter accessible to a wider audience.

The programmes illustrate the science behind the performance. Stunning new ballet arrangements have been commissioned for the series, which investigates how elements of the human brain and body work together to make the performance possible.
Rushes newly expanded 3D department have created a full skeleton, brain, muscles, tendons and internal organs, which, when intercut with live footage, demonstrate the extraordinary suppleness, strength and agility of the dancer.

The first of these 50 minute programmes will be going out on Saturday 21st September on BBC2.
