The Half: Photographs of Actors by Simon Annand – At the Lowry in Salford
Following the success of the videos produced for The Lowry in Salford as part of their first family dance exhibition, we were asked to produce a video to complement The Lowry’s latest photographic exhibition, The Half: Photographs of Actors by Simon Annand.
Featuring extraordinary portraits taken over 20 years by Simon Annand, this exhibition allows us a rare glimpse into the more private moments of some of this country’s most celebrated actors. Each has been photographed as they spend time in their West End dressing rooms, preparing to go on stage during ‘The Half’ - the last half-hour before curtain-up.
This is one of the most private times for an actor, a time of intense concentration. The exhibition ran from September ‘09 – 3rd January 2010. The short video features Shobna Gulati who starred in Victoria Wood’s dinner ladies and best known for playing the role of Sunita Alahan in the long-running soap opera Coronation Street from 2001 to 2006 a role she will return to by the end of 2009.
