Curing Albrechtshows a young man who checks into a bespoke institution, hoping to be cured of his inability to stop dancing.
An original dance film inspired by the iconic ballet Giselle, directed and choreographed by Morgann Runacre-Temple and Jessica Wright.
Inspired by themes of dancing and madness in Giselle, the short film was filmed on location in Manchester’s spectacular Victoria Baths and features a cast of dancers from Greater Manchester, performing alongside dancer Sam Coren and actor Jenny Runacre.
Commissioned by English National Ballet and produced in partnership with Manchester International Festival, the project behind Curing Albrecht created an opportunity for the young cast members to experience life on a professional film set and to be part of an in-depth choreographic process creating dance specifically for the camera.
