Weekender Lab: soft practice

Photo by Max Colson

This Lab has been postponed until Autumn 2018.

“Workshops terrify me. I don’t want to learn anything – I feel too old to be able to let anything in because after a few decades of being alive I have been exposed too much to the dubious power-relations in rooms supposedly for education and learning, I have realised that a lot of what I have learned has been some training in obedience and subliminal correction.”
– Jamila Johnson-Small

In this Lab, participants spend time tuning into shifts of power, energy and emotion, loosening the grip of ‘professionalism’ and thinking about processes of exchange – what we have, what we’ve taken, what we want, what we can leave behind.

Participants explore the in-between spaces, the things that slip through the cracks of time and memory, and the potential for dance to be a radical social practice.

Last Yearz Interesting Negro is the solo project of Jamila Johnson-Small. Her current research explores surrender as a strategy for destruction, producing states of alienation as part of this resistance.
