A event held at KIT FORM on Tomorrow. The event starts at 19:30.
The fourth instalment of an event series creating a space for people who use performance and movement in their artistic practice.
We are inviting a different selection of visual artists each month to explore new or old work in an intimate space and engage afterwards in constructive feedback on each other’s craft.
Practitioners of all skill levels and experience are invited to KIT FORM to join us and duly stew.
In this edition we will be hosting performances from Adriana, Carlota Matos, George Avill and Silas Grocott Cain.
Adriana is a movement artist, choreographer, and DIY culture enthusiast. Their practices fuse installation, improvisation, sound, and site-specific formats to convey participatory and immersive performance.
Adriana is currently moved by themes of societal/psychological reflections related to the absurd, by rave culture, as a capacitor for collective playfulness, and by states of existential chimera.
Carlota Matos (she/her) is a Portuguese theater and performance artist working internationally with a focus on social change. Her practice explores questions of identity, migration, and mental ill-health, in the form of documentary/experimental/participatory performances.
Silas Grocott Cain (aka PussyBoy) is a trans-femme performance artist and choreographer originally from Bristol and now based in London. She is the founder of PussyBoy collective which produces performance art works and contemporary choreographies that pull from the trans experience drawing on the influential forces of nature and music. Her work is mostly based in contemporary dance improvisational practices using costume and character design to exploit the transformative nature of performance.
George (Valentine) Avill explores the feeling of shame and resentment in the forced vulnerability of trans people when trying to access health care. George prepares to put their fate in the audience's hands and desperately demand that they hold him, console them, instruct him. George’s work attempts to navigate how intimacy can simultaneously affirm an identity and breed anguish. Their work frequently utilises pain as a tool to feel grounded in the body.
