Much of Romany Dear’s work explores movement derived through her interaction with people. Her work takes the form of choreographed events developed from words and instructions contained within transcribed interview texts.
Ashanti Harris develops choreographed video works that employ remote control. From the movement of the camera to the movement of the human body and everyday objects she concentrates on the mechanical as the central element within her work.
An exploration of emptiness acts as the foundation of Emily Ilett’s practice. She seeks to reinvent or search for what has been lost or more importantly what is revealed by absence. Her work explores the poetic and the lyrical encompassing performance, writing, sculpture and drawing.
The collaboration between Dear, Harris and Ilett has been informed by the concerns and working methods of their individual practices. In the work Sequence Broken Dear, Harris and Ilett juxtapose the imaginary and the real, creating a poetic and lyrical cycle of choreographed movement and sound.
