3.30-4.30pm Janine Harrington, Performing Book Experiment No.2
“Performing Book Experiment No.2 is a structure for five or more dancers. The work aims to facilitate a playful interaction between the audience-reader and the performers. The structure is only activated when an audience member enters a “channel” of the space, their movement programs the danced material in a certain way. As the activator becomes aware of their role as co-author of the work they are able to play with the structure, changing the direction of movement, its relationship to time and scale.”
ALSO THIS WEEKEND:
The 25th will be the conclusion of Phil Baber’s The Archaeology of an Essay installation, the result of a 3 day residency at WRITING/EXHIBITION/PUBLICATION:
“Through artifacts, images, and texts, I’ll be unpacking, plotting, and presenting the ‘source-code’ of an essay-in-progress.”
The Festival of Nearly Invisible Publishing continues to unfold with Greetings from DEAL – a new installation project by Colin Priest, Malcolm Hobbs and Joe Reeves – and the online launch of LIKE IT IS: PRELUDE, an e-book by Nyeema Morgan.
WRITING/EXHIBITION/PUBLICATION concludes with a final weekend of performances and events on October 2-3. See full programme of events here: www.thepigeonwing.co.uk/events
