Constructing Phenomena an artist lab at Battersea Arts Centre 25.10 - 26.10.2024
We’ll be working with tools of the trade Athey has used for performance-making since 1995, including: somatic therapy, hypnosis sessions, and a program of spiritualist practices such as automatic writing and drawing, non lingual vocals/glossolalia, walking meditation, scrying, and archetype work. We will storyboard concepts for our performances - often, the process is the work!
This format for teaching and making was developed in 2010 for Athey’s Gifts of the Spirit: Automatic Writing in the Great Hall at QMUL and he has been evolving it ever since. This Artist Lab continues Athey’s collaboration with hypnotherapist Michele Occelli. Movement aspects will be co-led by movement practitioner Lewis Walker.
This is not a mortification-of-the-flesh or post-porn workshop but Athey will give short visual lectures containing sexually and physically graphic material. If you have concerns relating to this please reach out to Future Ritual (producing@futureritual.co.uk) in the first instance.
