This + Timber

Two new choreographies of object, gesture and space. Interdisciplinary artists Tate n Lyle present new work, alongside Elinor Lewis with Hannah Parsons.

In This two idiots explore a pair of collapsible tables, lost somewhere between the rigours of scientific exploration and a childish recklessness. Presenting their discoveries with the limited script of ‘This’ ‘That?' ‘Here’ and ‘There?’ pointing and tapping escalate towards the wild extremes of clattering, shouting and shaking.

TIMBER began as an investigation into how an audience's perception can be subverted so that objects are perceived to have autonomy equal to that of the performers. Scrutinising the interplay between monotony, rhythm, suspension and risk, in its current form, TIMBER is a spatial study: one where animate and inanimate forms are both used as players in a hypnotic spatial composition.

This and TIMBER are performance works for gallery and exhibition spaces.
