They know it by heart. They have never seen its shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Produced unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI mapped the film so that a summer at Kellerman's becomes a transit network, in the style of a classic London Underground map. Baby is the constant line, and the guests and the staff run as two separate groups that are not supposed to meet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI plot a film by watching it in stop-start, scene-by-scene, writing down the action and the lines as they happen. Doing that with this one makes something obvious that the soundtrack tends to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a film about class, drawn as two sets of lines that keep crossing where they should not. The full story on your wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCharacters and key plot points on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrances \"Baby\" Houseman, played by Jennifer Grey, runs as the constant line and is the only character who moves freely between the guest side of the map and the staff side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny Castle's line, played by Patrick Swayze, stays on the staff side until Baby pulls it across. Penny Johnson's line is the one that sets the whole plot moving, and Jake Houseman's crosses it at the point that changes everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLisa Houseman, Marjorie Houseman, Neil Kellerman, Max Kellerman and Robbie Gould fill out the guest side, and the map keeps them visibly apart from the staff quarters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNamed stations include the arrival at Kellerman's, the staff quarters dance, carrying the watermelon, the lift practice in the lake, the Sheldrake booking and the final performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
