Astral Ghost Orchid
If we look deep within ourselves, we know deep down what we are, we know that the roots of our passions and desires stem from inconsequential decisions that give nothing, yet everything to the universe around us. Our organism is imploding, and it is time for a expansion of our universe, and what our queer ephemerality means to us. This is the ethos that leads the driving force of this new work as an expounding of queer choreography, sound design and technological-based performance.
Join award winning choreographer Alix Kuijpers for this development showing, artist talk and workshop session where they will be divulging the beginning stages of this work from its inception at the B12: Research or Die! Festival in Berlin, Germany.
"Kuijpers is obviously a deep thinker" - Stage Whispers
This is a low stakes work-in-progress showing that will consist of a small informal performance, an artist talk and a workshop into queer artistic practice. Participants are welcome to be as little or as heavily involved as they like.
