Join us on the Llŷn Peninsula for a weekend of events that imagines the movements of place-making through dance practice – symposium, film screenings, performance, talks and discussion, twmpath, breakfast conversation and walk.
Saturday 12/10/2019 10.30am – 4.15pm
Plas Glyn-y-Weddw, Llanbedrog
Symposium
£15 inc. refreshments and lunch (Please advise if you have special dietary requirements)
Curated and led by movement artist-in-residence Simon Whitehead, this symposium is open to all with an interest in the places we make, the lands that shape us and our bodies that move through them.
Presentations by dance artists Simon Whitehead, Robbie Synge and Angharad Harrop, alongside creative producer Chris Ricketts. Dance film screenings of work by Rosemary Butcher, Eiko and Koma, Jess Lerner/Tanya Syed, Adele Vye and Cleophée Lior Moser.
Movement artist Simon Whitehead works from both his base in rural west Wales and internationally. He lived in the north of Llŷn for a period in the 90’s and working on projects with Plas Glyn-y-Weddw is enabling him to re-visit some of his works from this period as well as developing new work. We are creating a memory of the dance hall that stood at Plas in Solomon Andrews’ time by creating a scented dance lawn with artist Jacques Nimki, and a special performance commission for the lawn will be announced during the symposium.
