a performance lecture by Lucy Suggate

“I have noticed a type of energy, possibly power, sometimes aggression emerge when I dance. Maybe it’s a spirit, or a non-human force that is encouraging me to fall deep into my physical and perceptual imagination; tricking me to endure a kind of extreme physicality, to overthrow time, grace and logic.

In this altered-nation of dance I am offered a glimpse of other ways of being and ways to revalue my very human relationship with power, ambition and responsibility.

This performance-lecture thing is a prelude to actions not yet taken, found or made. It is an attempt to summons the idiosyncratic, the disobedient and latent hysterias from obscurity into glory.”
