Lost In Feeling
A Co-created And Participatory Public Space Performance Work For Audience, Community And Artists / Created as part of 'They Gather'
Exploring our need to connect to others, to be seen and to be heard, 'Lost In Feeling' re-imagines being in a large gathering (e.g. a demonstration, a celebration) where the self is both lost within and empowered by being part of a mass gathering.
Occupying public space with bodies, sound and the use of localised FM radio networks, the choreography emerges through a performed score that instigates and investigates swarm behaviours through embodied algorithmic thinking.
This work is adapted and reimagined through creative community consultation workshops leading up to the event. These community members inform the score performed, but also become key performers / facilitators in the work.
"Feeling very valued and supported...not feeling the need to censor my response to any of the tasks." - ‘Lost In Feeling' Participant
