“An exploration into the choreographic potential of air and space using movement, smoke, light, sound, sculpture, bodies and breath; this is a performance of material elements that considers how a space choreographs the body and how bodies can choreograph space.
Made for The Galvanizers; a 6000sq.ft. former ship yards turned night club and exhibition space at SWG3 Glasgow and developed in response to the site and in collaboration with the artists experiential understanding of space and their personal archive of memory. Laura offers enter the / move through /take up /leave to the audience as a gentle meditation into power, presence and place.”
