Impending

The Place, 2019

Your current concerns
Your pleasures
The boldness that holds you amorphous

Something glides down your leg
It distracts you
Your shape mass blurs, fogging into the soft edged shape
mass next to you
You’ve become the room
Glacial, moody, a construct
You’ll hang out here for a while
Things will unsettle
Spilling dragging cat dogging
How to sustain
How to be with

Drawing on previous material from duet works Slug Horizons
and Apparition, Stainton and Peake bring the principles of
these works to collaborate with these dance artists from LCDS.
Images of Glacial Carving and land masses shifting, we think
about being with difficult times, being with each other, different
relational modes inside trouble, slippage between
form/sculpture and human within this time of ecological and
political unrest. The auditorium becomes a space to offer
intimacy, care and friction.
