About

 

Larry Achiampong, Claire Davies, Ruth Beale, Forager Collective

Work in Common is a series of short residencies that encourage artists to experiment with different ways of working – either testing out a speculative idea, or developing new collaborations. Each artist will use the spaces at Primary, to produce and present work to an audience, through screening, rehearsal, performances, workshops and meals.

Film Night – Larry Achiampong

Friday 25 August, 18:00

Expanding on his project Relic Traveller, Larry Achiampong will host a night of films linking themes of blackness, black technopoetics and science fiction.

Scratch Night – Claire Davies & Verity Heald
Sunday 3 September, 18:00

Claire Davies has invited Verity Heald to perform in a series of scratch performances using various theatrical techniques as a means of experimenting with the boundaries between the body and digital process.

Dance Workshop – Ruth Beale & Mark Boylan

Ruth Beale and Mark Boylan will collaboratively explore the connection between empathy, movement and commons, drawing on ecstatic dance practices and Movement Medicine.
