About this Event

thriceness: Name, Voice, and Gesture – who it is we are and how we tell this

Shelley Hodgson and Mark Leahy are artists and writers working with texts, recording, and performance. For this iteration of Convivial, Shelley and Mark will open out some questions around bodies, names, and communication. Their conversation develops ideas and actions they presented in the performance work ‘twiceness’ (Plymouth, May and July 2024), as they pick up on threads and themes that emerged from their working together.

Acknowledging the people in the space, as we gather together to listen, to share, to exchange, the conversation will begin with names and naming. Then considering connections to voice and to identity they will raise questions around how we tell who we are, how we connect to others, how we bridge gaps between us, us humans, and the other-than-human. The discussion will attend to matters of value, of exclusion, and how we are variously valued, differently excluded. Mixing action, gesture, talking and recording, ‘thriceness’ will address who it is that we are and how we tell this.

The Convivial

The Convivial is an interdisciplinary symposium or talk series based in Penryn. We hope to provide a hospitable space for imagination and creative discourse that is accessible for the community to attend for free or for a donation. We are driven by the desire for open-access knowledge and tools for imagination in a world that desperately needs both. The Convivial wishes to break down institutional walls and share the wisdom within them with those who are best placed to use it – the community itself.
