During this workshop we will be researching how atmospheres of suspense can be choreographed between people, and how suspense can be worked with as a physical state in the body.

Through guided movement practices, participants will cultivate heightened bodily perception, working with time-based approaches such as hyper–slow motion and the deliberate stretching or “eeking out” of actions. 

Movement work will be introduced like practical tasks. Participants will work individually, in pairs and in small groups; some tasks may involve touch, with all material adaptable to individual needs and boundaries. No previous dance training is necessary.

Elements of this workshop draw on Eve’s current performance project The Joystick and The Reins, presented as part of IPAF this year.

Om kunstneren:

Eve Stainton is a Manchester-born artist and choreographer based in London. They create multidisciplinary performances using movement, live manual labour, live sound, and suspense building. Rooted in community, their research examines how marginalised people relate to power structures and societal conventions. Working with codes of gender, masculinity, class and threat, the work stages clunky physical negotiations, exposing behind-the-scenes collaboration and how narratives of threat shape trans-masc people and working-class cis men’s lives.
