9 EVENINGS: VIS-ER-AL Birmingham
Polly Hudson, Katye Coe, Charlie Morrissey and Florence Peake have worked together, in different configurations, over the past two decades, and share underpinning approaches that focus on the viscerality of the body.
In the spirit of 9 Evenings, Polly Hudson leads the Vis-er-al salon, bringing the artists together as a group with musician Daren Pickles for the first time to explore live and screen works in the immediate, visceral environment. The salon artists take Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, and the ensuing Judson Dance Theatre as a particular point of reference.
Presented through a sequence of salons, Vis-er-al includes classes, a lab, discussions, live performance, installation, single and multi channel screen works that share the viscerality of the body in space and on screen.
