DISPOSABLE LOVE is an ambitious new dance film installation which explores the nature of our consumer society and its relationship with love. In our fast paced lives where the emphasis is on ease of consumption and disposability, are our relationships with others becoming the same?

Film maker and dance theatre director Caroline Bridges has invited installation artist Claudia Borgna to transform the gallery into a landscape of thousands of recycled disposable white plastic bags representing the emotional debris of discarded relationships.

Using the latest projection technology, the work features four characters projected life size onto screens emerging from this plastic discarded wasteland, dancing together in a series of duets and trios that give insight into the nature of their personal interactions.

DISPOSABLE LOVE takes the nature of consumption in our modern world and uses it as a metaphor for modern relationships The work has been developed with the direct involvement of members of the Solihull community whose humorous and touching anecdotes of lost love have been integrated into the soundscape of the installation. The audience are welcome to add to the installation by bringing their own plastic bags to contribute to the field.


It is Caroline Bridges' film projections that have attracted most attention.
