A
co-production with CoPAC.
Passion
Flower is a short documentary by Jarrod
Whaley. The film deals with dancer Ann Law's decision, after having
been diagnosed with breast cancer and having undergone a double
mastectomy, to have her chest tattooed instead of being fitted
with prostheses or submitting to reconstructive surgery.
The film, though it
stands on its own as a complete work, will be screened as part
of a multimedia presentation on Ann's way of dealing with her
cancer; the presentation will include this documentary, a dance
piece choreographed and performed by Ms. Law herself, and an exhibition
of photographs by Virginia Webb.
