Greenhouse artists Zoe Tankard and Sheyamali Sudesh discuss their Creative Labs and dance film projects supported by Chisenhale Dance Space.
Join us for the second of four evenings as part of our WTF: Greenhouse Takeover series! This is a chance to get an early insight into 8 artists processes.
**Please note this event has been rescheduled from 8th to 29th August**
‘Greenhouse’ is a 6 month long funded, bespoke development programme for eight Activators from our Artist Community who are Global Majority, and/or Disabled / Neurodivergent. It is primarily for artists who have the beginnings of an idea, project, production, or concept but need the creative support, skills development and time to help kickstart it.
Artists in the cohort have come together to co-host an evening each where they share a glimpse into their practice and projects, using the evening as a step on the journey rather than as a destination. Crucially, the evening is not about sharing finished work – it is about opening up the process and inviting others in to observe, experience and contribute. They might choose to share via a workshop, performance or discussion – no two evenings will be the same and every evening will have two artists / projects! This evening brings together artists Sheyamali Sudesh & Zoe Tankard Bowkett in conversation to share where they are at, and where they might be heading with their projects.
As with all WTF Thursday evenings, these events are FREE – but booking is essential!
The eight Greenhouse artists are: Valerie Ebuwa, Mary Price-O’Connor, Nya Bardouille, Zoe Tankard Bowkett, Lene Vollhardt, Ashley Lim, Sheyamali Sudesh, and Elizabeth Chan.
Join us to hear from artists Sheyamali and Zoe about their Greenhouse projects!
These are a dance film about Sheyamali’s relationship with a historical Bharathanatyam dancer & their writing and Zoe’s Creative Labs exploring her creative process of using wire sculpture to question: “How can you trust an unreliable, inconsistent body?” and “Can sculptures hold you in space?”
Each artist will present their preliminary work and future plans. This will be followed by a Q&A session where they will ask each other questions about their respective projects and then open it up to the audience for questions, chats, or points of collab!
