THE PROJECT:

In response to the physical effects on our Spirit due to the pandemic, (+ zoom, sensory-overwhelm, spatial limitations, the news, social media and lack of connection to our embodied selves), we are embarking on a series of dance expeditions in celebratory protest of these oppressive forces.

Utilising extremity, scale and duration we are able to smash through societally conditioned physical conservativism to express our rawest aggression, eustasy, weirdness, apathy, hatred and joy in a safe and reflective environment.

THE ARTISTS:

Ted Rogers is a Margate based performance artist and choreographer who has worked professionally across film, TV, live shows, performance art and music videos.

As an associate at Open School East, Ted has been exploring the role of “entertainment” in fine art as well as taking a critical look at the performance industry as a whole.
