RITUAL LABS (2019)
Utilising sigilisation to create a choreo-musical-narrative score, each Labour catalysed a dialogue between musicians, performers and audience to facilitate an immersive performance of embodied astrological myth. Searching for alternatives to the aims, tools and methods of industrial art practice. Reclaiming creative practice as a return to conscious ritual through collaboratively improvised sound, movement and presence. Researching the invocation of hypnotic phenomena within music, dance and theatrical practices. Residency at Somerset House Studios / Music Hackspace (London | UK)
A de la Fe (choreography), Nicole Bettencourt Coelho (sound, astrology, sigil score), Alice DeVille (mezzo soprano) and a huge thank you to all the musicians, dancers, actors and sound therapists who partook across 12 immersive rituals
