I was delighted to talk about my recent body-landscape-drawing work as aprt of the Japan-Britain Contemporary Theatre Exchange (spin-off) roundtable event a Lancaster University, 13 November 2024.
The round table followed a workshop 'Presence and Perception' and the performance ‘See a Porous Stone’ by performance artists Takuya Takemoto (Tokyo, Japan).
The theme of this gathering is Standing, Walking, Seeing. It considered the mundane, everyday activities of standing and walking as a performance and asked what it means when a person stands in front of a person? When we walk, how do we perceive our surroundings?
The Roundtable ‘Walking, Standing, Seeing – perspectives on live art and contemporary dance from Britain and Japan’ inclued presentation and reflection from Nigel Stewart (Senior Lecturer, Lancaster University), Louise Ann Wilson (performance maker and scenographer), Yurika Kuremiya (independent researcher, curator, dramaturg, Tokyo), Beri Juraic (PhD Candidate in Theatre, Lancaster University), Takuya Takemoto (performance artist, Tokyo). It was chaired by Karen Jürs-Munby (Senior Lecturer, Lancaster University).
