Mark Anderson

Mark and David have collaborated on projects for two decades, Mark initially joined David through multiple Boys Dancing projects and then also through Pupil Referral Units and Prison SEN projects working with learners with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Photography and film have been an integral part of their collaboration, together they explore how to use the camera to create striking and meaningful imagery with the people they work with, enabling learners to create their own physical and digital work, often building a different perspective of their environment and creating thought provoking images that last far beyond the project itself.

Biography

UK based filmmaker, photographer and dance artist Mark Anderson is the Co-Artistic Director of infuseDANCE, he trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance graduating with a BA Dance Degree in 2000. Specialising in photography and video for dance and performance he has spent over two decades working with organisations and people in settings as diverse as theatres, schools, arts centres, prisons, museums, RAF bases, steam railway stations and even at the bottom of a swimming pool resulting in both film screenings and photography exhibitions across the UK. He aims to make work that is inclusive and has worked extensively with groups with a range of needs (such as physical, emotional, behavioral and learning). He also has a long history of working with groups considered hard to reach including in Criminal Justice System settings. The pandemic saw his work expand into livestreaming theatre performances and incorporating digital projection mapping into his work.
