creation is timeless.. Commissioned by English Heritage and National Youth Ballet, Beyond The Plaques is a dance film inspired by the lives of four female Pioneers; sculptor Eleanor Coade, author Frances Burney, poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and astronomer Annie Maunder. These women’s overlooked achievements provoke a contemporary response from four young female artists, weaving themes of cultural ephemerality, societal expectations of women, and exploration amidst isolation. The film celebrates endeavour and creativity, highlighting the enduring need to amplify the voices of women in history, as we venture Beyond their Plaques.
