What does it mean to heal from exhaustion… and what happens when we give ourselves permission to play, breathe and create?
We’re excited to welcome Belgian multidisciplinary artist Reinel Bakole to our studios for an intimate One Room Talk, as part of our pilot residency programme in collaboration with a House for Artists.
Reinel is a dancer, vocalist and multidisciplinary artist whose practice moves between sound, movement and poetry. Her debut album Healing Exhaustion is a dreamlike, playful and deeply physical exploration of vulnerability, rest and transformation.
Some of you might remember Reinel from her captivating performance at The New East Festival with New Wave Magazine in 2020. Now, she’s back in London developing new work in our studios in Barking.
We’ll be talking about:
→ healing & burnout
→ music, movement & the body
→ the role of play in creativity
→ making work in Belgium
→ returning to London
→ what residency and creative space can make possible
→ and, importantly… where to find all the sauce in her hometown 👀
Come join us for a conversation about making, resting, dreaming and everything in between here in Barking Riverside London
