The Wind of Change, teaser
created and performed by Geneviève Giron & Anne-Gaëlle Thiriot
The Wind of Change needs to blow!
We are interested in these moments in which we make decisions that change our life and we use hair-dryers to help us question that place.
On a Diet of Tinned Mackerel
created and performed by Holly Blakey &
Claudia Palazzo
A short dance of discovery.
With our tendencies of allowing one other to get carried away, we ask, is it more comfortable to get carried away in performance? Or in making it a performance does it become unreal? It’s time to own up to what we have found in each other, so we ask: is it better to build a frame around the beasts or allow the elephant in the room?
NEXT on Agony Art: SATURDAY 29 JUNE
with Imogen Bland, Richard Court, Angelina Deck and Petra Söör

Hallo Spaceboy
by Jacob Hobbs
Meet Tom. He’s an astronaut. He’s running out of air. He’s about to die. But there’s still time for one last song…
Inspired by David Bowie’s Space Oddity, join our brave astronaut on his one man Space-Age adventure in dance theatre.
Combining live music and inventive costume, Hallo Spaceboy reaches out into the cosmos to weave a gripping and moving science fiction yarn. So lace up your moonboots and join Tom for his final moments, he could sure do with the company.

electronics, shitsticks, live coding & reactionary superheroes
Friday 22 March
JA NO Company - Cheap Blue
Sound frequencies embodied by movement and further explored by restricting boundaries.
Within the box, the relationship between sound and movement is clear; but what happens if you step out of the box?
Cheap Blue has been created during a weekend intensive.
Danai Pappa & Neal Spowage - Frozen Venus
Controlling and manipulating others may have a dark and humorous aspect; depending on the angle you look at it. Hovering between intimacy and opposition, Frozen Venus explores a series of states that have to do with grouping power, leadership, control and support. Not necessarily political, but rather social and humanistic, the piece demonstrates six plungerphone instruments in a dark symmetry where every dynamic scheme is shadowed by gloomy alienation.
Created and performed by Danai and Neal this is a noise and movement piece. Neal has built the instruments and both the performers manipulate them as self-amplified objects for acoustic spatialisation.
Pointing Beard & The Codettes
( Shelly Knotts & Konstantinos Vasilakos )
with
Sophie Arstall, Mariana Camiloti, Antonio de la Fe, Evangelia Kolyra, Manou Koreman, Martine Painter & Petra Söör
Seven dancers, two laptop performers, one stage and a blind date. Live coded musical streams and reactive moves, find shelter into the live improvised domain.
What happens when you blend all these on the dance floor? This agonising question remains until the performance unveils.
performance starts 7.00pm | bar available from 6.30pm
tickets: £5 (on the door) to enable artists cover venue costs
