About
Sites of Union is a performance, a culmination. The collective of performance artists have worked together over the past two months under the project Collective Attention; Anarchic Action, in sharing methodologies and practices and strategies. In the Garage space of Ugly Duck Sites of Union will bring together everything that has been taught and learnt between each artist in a a durational four hour performance which will see 8 different practices engage with each other, allowing for different visions and urgencies to create a rare and exciting discourse around non-linear performance time.
Collective Attention: Anarchic Action is a project gathering of 8 action-based performance artists. Emerging from a longing to be in-relation, this assembly has been formed and held in arduous times. It has been a chance to commune and confer. Through weekly co-learning sessions the artists have shared methodologies and strategies in a non-hierarchical environment where each artist has been able to both teach and learn. Together they see what can be found in the with, to and between of each of their individual practices.
The ensemble collective includes: Benjamin Ivy, Jess Heritage, Vivian Chinasa Ezugha, Jasper Llewellyn, Monstera Deliciosa, selina bonelli and is activated by Eleanor Dalzell Jenyns and kate stonestreet. It has been made possible by the generous offer of time and space provided by Ugly Duck.
Themes explored in each artists work include: the uncommunicable and fallibility of language, acts of queer erosion, ritual action, material exploration, reflective writing and sonic experimentation to name a few. These themes will be touched upon throughout Sites of Union, creating a unique experience for the audience to witness a convergence of intergenerational and diverse work.
