Come lay down your brain and focus on gut feelings.
During this weekend I’m presenting the soft launch of my project The Second the Water Wets Your Face, Reflexes of Your Aquatic Ancestors Kick In, a new audio work I’m developing in collaboration with composer Daniel Steiner.
Relax into a bed large enough to notice from outer space, make new memories, make weightless somersaults and let yourself sink towards a sandy dance floor, with clicking creatures that vibrate your skull.
For this project I collaborate with composer Daniel Steiner and had Alix de Massiac as my sparring partner throughout developing the script for the spoken text. Sources for the script were among others conversations I had with (neuro) anatomist Cindy Cleypool, zoologist Tacyana Oliveira and marine ecologist Maarten de Brauwer.
Workshop
Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 September 11.30am — 12.30pm (RSVP)
Amplify your senses and join one of two Body Work sessions with performer Stefania Petroula before diving into the audio work. Petroula’s workshop opens up your senses and offers a different bodily state for experiencing the audio work.
These workshops are in small groups of 6 participants, so RSVP asap
The project is generously supported by Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, Tijl Fonds – Cultuurfonds and Mondriaan Fund. Part of its development took place during residencies at Fundaziun Nairs, Scuol (CH) and Casa di Rosa, Loco (CH).
