Please note: This event ended on 29 September 2023
Holly Thomas is a studio resident, dance artist and choreographer creating inclusive choreography and embodied audio-description for dance. Drawing upon her lived experience of visual impairment, Holly’s work de-centres the visual and invites performers and audiences to engage with dance as a felt, sonic and imagined experience.
The talk will reflect upon the methods developed and material created by Holly and her collaborators during her research and development project ‘Half Light’. Working with textural sound design, proximal and sensory choreographies and audio descriptive narratives, ‘Half Light’ takes audiences on a journey through the shifting sensory landscapes of twilight, absolute night and sonic sunrise.
Open Studio Fridays
From 10:00 - 17:00 you can stay at the Studio for Open Studio Fridays - join us to continue the conversation or work on your own projects. The Studio provides chairs, tables, wireless and a great space. You bring what you need to work with (laptop/mobile). Tell us what you’re up to, or allow us to facilitate conversations within the resident community. Studio staff and residents will be around to chat, answer questions, or tell you more about what we do. The open afternoons close at 17:00, sometimes with a trip to the Café & Bar.
Where to find us
The Lunchtime Talks take place in the Pervasive Media Studio, which is in the Watershed building. The Studio is just beyond the Café & Bar, turn right and then go down the corridor to your left (where the toilets are). The double doors here will be open, go all the way down until you reach the Studio. A member of staff will sign you in, and check your ticket, if you have booked.
