OFF BROADWAY
RACHEL LOUISE BROWN
WORKING IN COLLABORATION WITH STYLIST ROSIE ARKELL-PALMER AND SCHÖN! MAGAZINE, RACHEL LOUISE BROWN PRESENTS OFF BROADWAY.
ORIGINATING FROM A PROJECT DOCUMENTING BALLERINA LAUREN CUTHBERTSON BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE, OFF BROADWAY EXPLORES THE SPACE BETWEEN IDENTITY AND PERFORMANCE THROUGH THE TENSION, GESTURES AND QUIET MOMENTS THAT UNFOLD BEHIND THE CURTAIN. PHOTOGRAPHED AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE IN CATFORD, LONDON, THE PROJECT BRINGS TOGETHER THE WORLDS OF COUTURE AND PERFORMANCE, WITH THE SETTING FORMING AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE NARRATIVE.
TO ANNOUNCE THE PROJECT THE PUBLICATION WAS LAUNCHED AT WREN AND SPONSORED BY POLAROID.

“I was interested in everything surrounding the performance — the tension of rehearsal, the waiting and the nerves before going on stage.”
