About this Event
Dr Sophia Lycouris is an academic interested in interdisciplinary research methodologies related to improvisational performance and an artist working with movement, dance and choreography. Exploring the Talbot Rice Residents exhibition, Sophia will talk about ideas from the conceptual history of dance, responding to how certain artworks perform in the gallery. Trying to find that which is visceral – that which you feel, that moves deep within your body – she will look specifically at the work of Alaya Ang, Sekai Machache and Kirsty Russell to consider how their artwork uses movement and acts upon its audiences. Thinking about the subtleties of space, timing, rhythm, scale and affect, this tour will provide a strong, embodied way of encountering exhibitions.
