Elana Binysh is an interdisciplinary artist working across sound, writing + the internet. She creates sensory environments for audiences to give themselves over to + be swallowed up by. Her work uses Crip theory + experimental form to think about transgression + grossness. Her first solo work I think it was a feeling is an instruction based headphone piece designed to be followed at home, alone. It’s a playful exploration of incontinence, control & sensation. She often works collaboratively, and her work has been shown at Bristol Old Vic, The Yard, V&A + Prague Quadrennial.
“I’ll be spending the time at Artsadmin exploring aspects of my new project. I want to think about what it means to perform this work to a live audience, and instruct people live. I’ll spend one week looking at my persona, thinking about sub/dom/switch dynamics between me and the audience. The other week will be spent looking at my access needs as creative tools for performance. For example: if I need a loo break in the middle of a show, how can I play with leaving an audience alone? My time at Artsadmin is going to be led by the process. I’ll be writing, making sound and doing improvisation and fooling exercises.” – Elana
