As an extended family sits sprawled on a sofa, nodding off every few minutes as light from the television plays on their faces, it is awoken suddenly by the ear-splitting sound track of the film they are watching. Each member reacts to what he sees through interesting dance steps, while staying in his place. This is a scene from The Big Sofa, a winning collaboration between a choreographer and a director of photography, which was created last year to celebrate a decade of Big Dance — a dance initiative in the UK that takes the art form to unconventional spaces.
