ABOUT:
Intersect is a series of gatherings, making space for creative communities to share insights into embodied practices that reflect intersectional ways of being. Affirming the ‘liveness’ of the process, each gathering is unique, allowing for the featured participant(s) to co-design how they might imagine what the exchange with those who attend may look like: an embodied dialogue between artists; a sharing of a new experimental work in progress witnessed virtually and/or in-person; or an open forum where key research questions of interest are explored and discussed.
This gathering was curated by ]performance s p a c e[ and consisted of a call, pause and response sharing of live, oracular practices from artists SERAFINE1369 and Daniella Valz Gen.
“Oracular practice is for me an exploration of presence, responsiveness and a form of improvisation that can be understood as live writing and editing as the act of making meaning in real time…” – Daniella Valz Gen
“[Mine is] a responsive practice of tuning into states of receiving, through the capacity a body has to ‘read’ & synthesising the information received through movement, without judgement or conscious agenda… allowing this movement to be witnessed.” – SERAFINE1369
Audiences were invited and encouraged to adopt a softer focus while engaging with the embodied processes of the artists – becoming properly present and in attunement with the currents of the evening. As the event unfolded, audience members were gradually enfolded; encouraged to participate in a collective reading, or reflection of the evening’s offerings in dialogue with the lead artists.
