rigorously, playfully, interrogating ideas with guest artists who work through dance, choreography, composition, performance, music ++ Est. 2013. Please hit the subscribe button below!
Emma Fishwick makes dance, text and image. I find her incredibly inspiring and this discussion wanders through both our interests around considering culture, body, language, paradigm and more.
we talk around:
writing an exegesis
not dreaming
fringe ideas
getting better at thinking in words
interface
desires
scrutiny
going to a pistol range
the unknown
codification for the sake of legibility at the expense of nuance
“art generally is for everyone but not all art is for all people” – Roslyn Helper
“my thoughts are trying to explain something that I felt” – Roslyn Helper
[my aim is] “creating spaces in art to make those feelings and thoughts and experiences valid and hope that other people will empathise or understand.. and enter into that world to make it even more real” – Roslyn Helper
Roslyn Helper curates and makes art and performs art and makes music in bands and plays soccer and thinks deeply and speaks insightfully.
I thoroughly enjoyed thinking out loud with her about:
risk vs reward in artistic practice
trying to hack the human time scale and wondering what it would be like to make art as a 200-year-old
simultaneous time – (dance is one way to hack into non-linear time)
embodied reality
sharing time and space
the physiological reward of a having good conversation
