Saffy Setohy | Mulling space/Light Field
Public events: Monday 5 - Wednesday 7 October, 5pm - 7pm // Thursday 8 October, 7pm - 9pm

Saffy's residency will be split into two activities. Each day she will work with a different invited artist to share questions, try some experiments, generate curiosities and form some connections together. In the evening the residency space will be open to the public, with an invitation to participate in testing ideas for Light Field - a new collaboration with sound artist Bill Thompson. Light Field will be an off-grid kinetically powered participatory installation made of changing constellations of people, light, sound, space and movement.
The space will be open on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 5pm - 7pm and Thursday 7-9pm. For more, see www.saffysetohy.co.uk

Fuora Dance Project
Sharing: Friday 23 October, 4.30pm

Fuora Dance Project will work on and further develop ideas behind their existing work for children (T-his/T-hat) based on the concept of choice. Every day we deal with choices, decisions and possibilities which can influence or even change certain aspects of our life. Are we always able to understand which the best option is? Are we overwhelmed by opportunities which we could misunderstand, enjoy, miss, and lose? Decisions also represent our past, our history, our memories and our future. We can be either this or that, here or there. Endless options exist and they are just in front of us. In a surreal scenario making use of props and music, the performers will explore their own choices with irony and playfulness.
