** Inquiring Bodies 2023 **

Saturday 21st January 2023, University of Chester

Cheshire Dance in collaboration with University of Chester is hosting Inquiring Bodies 2023 with guest artists, Penny Collinson and Amy Voris.

Just as grasses respond to the touch of sun and wind, so too our bodies are awakened through touch, movement, breath, and sound connecting us to our surroundings and the feeling of ourselves.

During this co-delivered workshop for dance/movement practitioners, we will shift between somatically-informed solo movement and reflection, simple hands-on (or touch) work in pairs and group moving and witnessing. The day aims to offer movement/reflective frameworks for participants to listen into and work with their individual inquiries and needs, while acknowledging the companionship of others. We hope that the activities offered will create space for noticing and attuning to your movement, energy and imagination and for cultivating internal resources.

For more information and to book, visit: www.cheshiredance.org/inquiring-bodies-2023/

NB: FREE to attend for all freelance artists, students and University of Chester staff. Tickets for those in paid employment: £25. Advance booking required.

The wonderful Mary Pearson has been developing her Witnessed In Translation project at Together and would like to share her work with you. To attend please email [email protected] or visit:
https://www.fact.co.uk/event/witnessed-in-translation

You are invited to Witnessed In Translation, a new international project designed by Mary Pearson which is happening across 4 improvised performances. All four are available to join in person or online.

Tuesday 22nd November 7pm @ Fact, Liverpool
Thursday 1st December 7pm @ Kitty’s Launderette, Liverpool
Saturday 10th December 4pm @ Independent Dance, London as part of International Festival of Learning
Tuesday 13th December 7pm @ Fact, Liverpool

Which parts of our identities want to be seen? How does our self-perception change with who is seeing us? How are we moved by seeing what might otherwise remain hidden, silent, or invisible? Join us for a ‘watch party’ of a streamed performance created live by five artists in four countries and live-mixed by George Maund.

Witnessed in Translation is a project led by Mary Pearson with collaborators Carolina van Eps, Michael Kaddu, pavleheidler and Elvan Tekkin. Together they have been developing techniques which evolved during lockdown to transmit physical, sensory and relational experiences through screens. Their focus is on improvisation mixed with stories reflecting multiple experiences of cultural displacement and translating words into gestures, body states, energies and images. Playing with care and curiosity, laughing and crying, lost in translation and fumbling towards liberation.

A post-watch-party conversation facilitated by Ava Riby-Williams and Aleasha Chaunte among the audience at the gathering will offer an opportunity to share experiences of witnessing and consider livestream as an emergent art form that is changing culture and our relationships.

Witnessed in Translation is rooted in Liverpool with support from FACT, Together, Kitty’s Launderette, and Independent Dance. It is supported through public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

It would be great to see you there. Please tell everyone you know!
