Let's Dance: The Red Shoes in Art and Film

From Hans Christian Andersen's gruesome fairytale to a Technicolor Oz, the motif of the red shoes has crossed continents and art forms. Putting on the magical shoes opens a range of references for creative exploration, from performance, the body and adornment, to folklore and psychoanalytic tropes. In this illustrated lecture, artist and curator David A Bailey highlights contributions to this enduring dance from figures as diverse as Kate Bush, Spike Lee and R B Kitaj.
