DIG: Ultimate Dancer (SCT/SWEDEN)| Hevi Metle
Part of Dance International Glasgow
World Premiere
This durational performance will take place in our front gallery as part of our Dance in the Gallery strand. You are welcome to stay for the duration, or to drop in and out during opening hours
This new performance will draw on a feminist approach to alchemy and transformation to explore matter and form. A durational work of six hours, six minutes and six seconds with slowly shifting bodies, a drawn out vocal composition, and sculptural material changing shapes and accumulating in the space.
Created in collaboration and performed with Angela Goh and Michelle Hannah.
ACCESS: Hevi Metle has an integrated touch tour and Audio Description description which will be performed live by Juliana Capes. It's an alternative form of description that functions as an interpretation element. The description comes through the speakers for all to hear.
