Portals

Portals is a performance of movement, lighting and sound – in conversation and reaction to each other – inspired by the notion of travel through space, time and body. Collaborators Kaia Shukin (choreography), Celeste English (scenography/lighting) and Isak Enquist (sound) will show and discuss this current iteration of their work.

In 2020 the research for Portals began with the notion that travel through space and time was possible within our own bodies.
Veins as wormholes, galaxies in viscera, memories and sensation containing a multiverse.
The arrival, assembly, disintegration and diffusion of our brief state of being.
A way through grief, an act of wonder, a journey through the multiplicity of self.
Finding you again, scattered through the cosmos.
