You are invited to gather in Emma McNally’s installation, The Earth is Knot Flat, to share multi-dimensional experiences of drawing breath, through movement, listening, practicing breath work, sharing poetry and more.
Emma will be joined by performance artist Katherine Smith, artist & organiser Manon Schwich, choreographer SERAFINE1369 and others practicing kinship.
Manon Schwich is an organiser and multidisciplinary artist based in London who engages with geo-poetics & the representation of genders, class and memory. Through moving images, installations + sounds and as a producer of collective-collaborative practices, she seeks to counteract the reductive systems through which histories are being told & interrogates the ways we take up space. She collaborated with Emma on the projections for The Earth is Knot Flat and has recently worked as the Producer on short film The Tobacconist (Director: Keifer Nyron Taylor). She hosts ‘Nightcap’ every second Sunday on Netil Radio.
SERAFINE1369 is a choreographer whose work prioritises listening and is responsive to the specificities of context. They make work that deals in intensities; atmospheres created by the tensions between things that make meaning, implicating the bodies of audiences as well as performers. Their work is underpinned by their interest in the invisible systems and structures that choreograph bodies in life.
Katherine Smith is a performance artist working with spatial practices across sound, film, sculpture, text, performance. In the work, they attempt to imagine embodied connection with all parts of themselves and with other bodies and the spaces around us, exploring intimacy, solidarity, multiplicity, grief, healing, resisting, the creating of new structures together: strong, soft, embodied sonic disruptions as ways of togethering and queering. Slowness and embodied/alive silence are important themes, particularly at the moment in relation to breath.
