Abandon Normal Devices (in September)
Early July, and as the nights start drawing in, so the possibility of nice, dark, urban spaces playing host to new work returns. We’ve been commissioned by FACT in Liverpool to create a new work for the inaugural Abandon Normal Devices (AND) festival in September/October this year, which promises to be a fascinating event. For our part, we’re creating a work that focusses on the human body, both as participant and as subject matter.
Strange Attractors is a meditation on the balance and structure of the human anatomy, drawing on influences from both modern and ancient understandings and set at the point where the two meet. It will be a study of embodied discourse; how we use our bodies to move and to communicate in a material world, and how our bodies mediate between the internal and external worlds, at a microscopic and global level.
