DWELLING

'The story of a house, 'Dwelling' imagines what happens when we re-inhabit abandoned space. Dwelling started as a film shot in the ruined mansion Poltimore House in Devon, and developed into a live performance. Combining imagistic movement-theatre style with vocal-looping and film, creating an atmospheric and immersive experience for an audience.

 

Dwelling attunes us to the presence of memory as story, through a cycle of non-linear storytelling to conjure ghosts  - a cacophony of voices - unheard, unspoken, haunting and haunted.

​​

 

Dwelling is a creative collaboration with the following artists and performers Leeza Jessie, Alice Barton, Xavier de Santos, Samuel De La Torre, Sofia Caley, Aimee Pollock, Helen Roberts. Technician Jayme Fraioli. Director Mary Steadman. Artist Valerie Bowes'
