Fight Night
Throughout June 2023, a group of under-represented artists worked together to create a short film inspired by Daniel Mendoza as the final part of the project.
Fight Night, looks at embodied histories, cultures, and identities, with each movement sequence built out of participants’ lived experiences of having to “fight back” or defend themselves and their identities. Shot in Britain’s oldest boxing club (Repton), Fight Night explores how our hands, feet, gestures, and words take us on different journeys and can shape the course of our lives.
An intensive workshop programme held at St. Margaret’s House, involved dance, pottery, devising, life writing and other exercises and took place over four days, followed by one day of filming.
Mendoza Mania was a community project created by St. Margaret’s House, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund
