Description

Derek Jarman's Dancing Ledge Journal Vol. 1 is a candid and introspective account of his early years as an artist. Written in the 1980s, these journals offer a unique glimpse into the life of a polymath filmmaker at the height of his creative powers. Jarman's writing is marked by its immediacy, curiosity and candour, providing a behind-the-scenes look at his first controversial films and stage designs. The journals also capture the vibrant gay nightlife of post-war Britain, from the 1950s to the early days of the AIDS epidemic. This memoir is a coming-of-age story for all fledgling artists, offering valuable insights into the trials of securing funding and the importance of staying true to one's artistic vision.
