Canon - a reimagining

To mark FLING's 25th anniversary year, Canon has been reimagined for our contemporary cast of young and emerging artists.

Canon was originally created in 2006 and is a prominent work from the FLING archive.

Inspired by an original composition written by Geoffrey Badger, Canon 2006 was directed and choreographed by FLING's founding Artistic Director Lee Pemberton, with choreographic contributions from Helen Linkenbagh.

It was a defining work of technical skill and musical expression for this early FLING Company, and a defining moment for the local communities energy around the organisation.

Featuring 20 dancers and 3 young musicians, they were a renowned company cohort in this grassroots era of the organisation, many of them launching soon after into tertiary study and creative careers.

Canon 2026 has been reimagined by original cast member and FLING's Associate Artist Paddy Meessmann alongside original musician Leif Helland.
