Lanchester Project duet by Florence Peak & Polly Hudson Untitled - Gallery study with projection An initial sketch using the gallery space as a frame for sculptural ideas around the moving body, and projection as a deliniation of space to capture and contain details. Possibilties for new language that incorporates projection, notions of versions of stories, what we notice/fail to notice. The body as installation, asking the question of how we see the dancing body. Hudson and Peake come together again after a gap of 3 years to pick up on their working relationship that resulted in 4 previous works. The piece is concerned with allowing the audience to enter and leave at will, to engage with as much or as little as they wish. with sound by Christopher Hobbs. |

until 5.30 Work on site Helen Poynor or 2.00-6.30 Promenade Workshop Eva Karczag, Chris Crickmay, Sylvia Hallett Promenade Workshop Eva Karczag, Sylvia Hallett, Chris Crickmay This workshop builds upon current and previous collaborations in performance between the three group co-ordinators (with backgrounds in dance, music and visual art). The emphasis is upon improvisation and on combining movement, sound and the use of objects and environments in performance. The work will be accessible to people from a variety of backgrounds (i.e. previous movement, music and/or art experience is helpful but not essential). The intention of the work is to make links not just between art forms, but also between an individual’s own personal world and what they create - also exploring how our own imaginative worlds can emerge and become clearer to us through interaction (with others and with our surroundings). The work will give particular weight to each person’s ongoing sensory and imaginative experiencing as a source for working. This must be booked separately by contacting k.coe@coventry.ac.uk |

5.00 Herbert Art Gallery series work by Doran George, Jessica Lerner and Promenade 2 by Eva Karczag, Chris Crickmay, Sylvia Hallett 7.00 The Great Divide panel discussion curated by Dance Art Foundation Herbert Art Gallery series: Doran George, 6.00pm stalemate (study from another angle) emerges from a movement practice grounded in nurturing an unfamiliar relationship between movement and 'the self ' which makes and performs it. The aim is to reveal dance-form (bodily movement) as a residue of an unfamiliarity that is emotionally bequeathed. The object of movement is revealed by an emotional process and yet the form is not an “expression” of that process. It's an expressive trajectory with formal methodology where the composition is constructed as a place that speaks back to this process of making with an aesthetic logic. Herbert Art Gallery series: Promenade 2 Promenade 2 is a durational piece over 3 days of Summer Dancing in the covered court of the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum. Audiences are welcome to come and watch for as long as they wish, and can arrive at any point during the performances. Tuesday 23rd 7.00am – 11.00am. (breakfast boxes will be available to purchase at this performance) Wednesday 24th 2.30pm – 6.30pm, a precursor, along with Doran George and Jessica Lerners’ performances, to the Great Divide panel discussion.
