Satelliser: a dance for the galleryJ Neve Harrington & coworkers
Satelliser: a dance for the gallery is an experimental, interactive performance work realised by an intergenerational group of co-working artists, devised and led by award-winning artist J Neve Harrington.
Harrington brings this compelling, distinctive performance work to Bristol’s Arnolfini across 29th and 30th July, following hugely successful previous showings at BALTIC CCA, Gateshead (October 2021), Turner Contemporary, Margate (November 2021) and Nottdance 2022, at FABRIC’s IC4c (October 2022) as part of the CONTINUOUS Touring Network Performances.
Satelliser is a French verb which means to put into orbit. Spanning podcasting, writing, speaking and dance, Satelliser brings together an international and intergenerational group of artists in conversation with audiences and guests.
The live presentation, Satelliser: a dance for the gallery, is a durational performance in which the artist coworkers cycle through labours of moving, speaking, listening and resting over the course of a day, holding buoyant space for conversation to emerge throughout.
The work was redeveloped in 2020/21, taking place online across 5 time zones and through multiple lockdowns. As the artists have each navigated upheaval, dislocation, political turmoil and changing personal circumstances, the process of being together in conversation has both amplified and challenged what they imagined this work might be and do.
Co-workers in 2021/22: Shivaangee Agrawal, Bonni Bogya, Christine Bramwell, Karen Callaghan, Iris Chan, Emilyn Claid, Katye Coe, Mia Quimpo Gourlay, Alexandrina Hemsley, Amrita Hepi, elena rose light, Ngozi “N/A” Oparah, Amaara Raheem, Arabella Stanger, Louise Tanoto, Amanda Thompson, Else Tunemyr, Jay Yule.
