AMY BELL / Great Britain
Is a dance artist who unwraps conversations around queerness, language and movement. She is a choreographer, writer, curator and facilitator whose practices are borne of a binary busting fervour.
As an acclaimed performer, Amy has collaborated on a range of site responsive, theatrical and installation works including with Lea Anderson, Hussein Chalayan & Damien Jalet, Tino Sehgal, Alessandro Sciarroni, Chiara Frigo and Maresa von Stockert’s Tilted Productions. Amy was Work Place Associate Artist and is currently Artist Development Manager at The Place in London.
She aims to explode them-and-us thinking around embodiment, marginalised experience and between audiences, artists and institutions. Alongside The Forecast, sister piece TOMBO(Y)LA is an installation of conversation and dancing which occupies gallery spaces. Politically rigorous whilst uniquely approachable, her works create connection whilst celebrating particularity.
JAMIE MCCARTHY / Great Britain
Has worked for many years performing and composing music in a wide variety of situations, with a primary focus on cross-artform work and collaboration. Recent projects include work with Joanna Young, Seke Chimutengwende, Fevered Sleep, Raquel Messeguer, Dog Kennel Hill and Simonetta Alessandri. He has for many years taught music at London Contemporary Dance School and was lucky enough to spend eight joyful years touring the world as a violinist with Canadian queer band The Hidden Cameras. Jamie also releases his ‘symphonic drone music’ under the name ‘CERFILIC’.
LUCY SUGGATE / Great Britain
Is a dance artist and choreographer recognised for her articulate and engaging solo performances as well as group installations informed by elements of synchronicity, cooperation and performance as act of communal embodiment.
Her work is routed in a movement practice which is an ongoing inquiry into the perceptual and physical expansion that occurs when engaged in durational moving and thinking. This work is often supported by sound and music that accelerates the process of altered states encouraging the performer into height-ened states of awareness, availability and articulation – its during this space that new constellations, ideas, patterns and possibilities emerge through the sifting.
A lot of her current focus is around creating spaces and conditions to support more expanded and fluid approaches to dance and choreography both in doing and spectating. Research and questions that challenging and interrogate dominant systems often frame the whole process, such as
What do we Choreograph and how do we dance in the 21st Century; the age of crisis, complexity, opinion and information?
