LILA MATSUMOTO, ROSE DAGUL AND SAM KEOGH
Friday 11th August 2023
At Practise is back for 2023! We will be hosting live work from Lila Matsumoto, Rose Dagul and Sam Keogh. Please join us on Friday 11th of August 7-9pm for an evening of performances, poetry, music, storytelling, improvisation and art straddling delicious spaces in between.
At Practise is a performance series programmed by Associate Programmer Jude Browning. The project explores modes of rehearsal to create a testing ground for new and live interdisciplinary art forms. At Practise asks how the live voice relates to forms of public address, both through performance and the gathering together of bodies in a shared space.
Excited to see you this (almost) Summer Solstice Saturday!

Artist Bios

Chris Timms (b.1984) is an artist from Wicklow currently based in London. He works with writing, sound, film and performance. In 2018 he organised STUCCO ECHOES MOUTH, A TREMBLING OF THE FRAME, a performance-listening event which commissioned responses to Alvin Lucier’s I’m Sitting In A Room (1969), emphasising the stutter in the work (often overlooked in contemporary reiterations) and the works origin as a Fluxus score. This emerged from a long-term project exploring stuttering, writing and performance, which looked at visitations, a mediaeval stammering monk and Physic Gardens. He has also worked with artist’s Elaine Reynolds and Frank Wasser as THE LIVING NEWSPAPER, an exploration of the historical convergence and influence of Fluxus and Relational Art practices within the general managerial cultures of the administration of labour practices within museums.
