SUMMARY:Hang Time by Marikiscrycrycry
DESCRIPTION:A choreographic meditation on hanging out. Hanging in the air. Hanging in there. Hanging by rope. Hanging braids off the nape of the neck. Hanging on to life. Hanging by a thread. Hanging bodies. Duration. Divination. Invocation. Congregation. Haunting.\n\nBuilding upon Marikiscrycrycry's decade-long practice of motorising otherwise fatalistic and marginal perspectives\, Hang Time engages an emergent mode of creation that is at once genre-defying and spiritually itinerant.\n\nSuspended between bouyon and soca\, séance\, ritual\, social gathering\, and catastrophe\, the work transforms hanging into a social\, historical\, choreographic\, and metaphysical condition. Through states of endurance\, collapse\, congregation\, and reverberation\, Hang Time listens to the gulf in order to sense what remains suspended in the air after disappearance.\n\nhttps://www.townspot.co/event/hang-time-by-marikiscrycrycry-53a31c9c-6fae-48f4-8400-9e84d3ae21b4

SUMMARY:The Dirty Work by Jo Bannon
DESCRIPTION:Peek behind the velvet curtain of The Dirty Work\, a new solo performance by Jo Bannon.\n\nBlending the tricks of the trade - a white rabbit\, a magic wand\, a puff of smoke - with her lived experience of visual impairment\, Bannon invites you to glimpse a world where truth and illusion\, performance and reality converge. Through delicate choreography and magician's patter\, which reveals more than it conceals\, she unveils the invisible labour that shapes how we navigate the world - balancing effortlessly between what is seen and unseen.\n\nThrough a Crip lens and with a trick up her sleeve\, Bannon reveals 'the dirty work' that often goes unnoticed on stage and in everyday life. This isn't just a magic show\; it's a meditation on visibility\, disability\, and the unseen labour we all perform. Say 'white rabbit' three times\, and see the magic unfold before your very eyes!\n\nhttps://www.townspot.co/event/the-dirty-work-by-jo-bannon-35fe33b1-09fe-4f4a-846d-f51f2ed2e73d
