DIG: Ellen Furey (CA) and Malik Nashad Sharpe (UK/US) | SOFTLAMP.autonomies
Part of Dance International Glasgow
Two white figures and two concurrent solo practices collide, creating new textures and embodiments, in SOFTLAMP.autonomies, ‘an emptied slogan repurposed as a dance-floor office,’ co-created by Malik Nashad Sharpe (aka marikiscrycrycry) and Ellen Furey:
‘We came together sparked by a necessary resistance to normative categories - implicit and explicit - imposed on our respective bodies.’
A meditative dance journey with electronic music immersion.
"The performance ... permits a wide variety of responses to coexist: delight, stupor, impatience, awe, reverie, and, for me, a moment of pure adrenalized thrill." – Philip Gates, Contemporary Performances (New York)
"a striking work into which both choreographers immerse themselves as interpreters with dedication and brilliance." – Lucie Lezclause, DfDanse (Montréal)
ACCESS: This production is particularly good for Subpacs
Sensorially powerful, with a sudden start to the soundtrack and repetitive music
