DETAILS:
"Impossibility is a sliding scale. somedays it feels impossible to get out of bed. On others we are pleasantly surprised to reach beyond our own expectations (let alone what others expect of us). Wether that is finding the energy to lift a corner of curtain to peek up at a tiny patch of sky, or scaling a peak to gaze down upon the clouds.

Each of the 16 artists/ writers invited to take part in the project have leant into, or away from, the idea of impossibility in a different way; they have used different mediums to share experiences, and have of course needed to rely on what is possible and practical in order to realise their works. The Covid-19 pandemic made sharing live performance art practices a physical impossibility, but these works transcend the immediate impossibilities of living in a global pandemic. They explore the layers upon layers of everyday impossibilities that we still encounter and will remain present once we ‘return to normal.

DETAILS:
"(re)collecting (f)ears documents a series of site-specific performances by selina bonelli, which took place at fallen Sound Mirrors along the southeast coast of England in the summer of 2019. How can we affectively listen to the echoes of our past fears and uncover what these monuments might hear in the present, in order to acknowledge our fears of the future? ".

Lines Cut Through Us All

DETAILS:
"While the UK Government can't make its mind up if it wants a No Deal, Peoples Vote, Article 50 Extension or to all agree to disagree and call the whole thing off, we can be sure of one thing: artists from across the UK and Europe will convene in Leeds (a 50/50 Leave/Remain city). From the gross oversimplifications, and wilfully deceptive dialogue in media and politics through to the inherently pre lingual desire for humans to understand and to connect, the Performing Britain artists will undertake a one time only performance marathon centred around ‘British identity’. Artists will present their ideas, share their lived experiences, offer us gestures and interventions that burrow deeper than the public discourse in hopes to better define and articulate a new narrative for British identity. New notions of what it means to be 'British' and what it means to be excluded."


Lines Cut Through Us All was a commissioned essay for Centre for Live Art Yorkshire (formerly Live Art Bistro) - for the unrealised programme; Performing Britain.
