A short fifteen-minute talk at the museum in the Billiard Room exploring the links between Rachel Kneebone's sculptures and works from the Wallace Collection. The speaker is David Wootton. It looks at Kneebone's Dance alongside Nicolas Poussin's A Dance to the Music of Time and François Anguier's Borghese Dancers, considering how movement in the 'sister arts' of painting and sculpture relates to dance and ballet. Places are limited and allocated first-come, first-served on the day.
