Fifteen contact improvisation practitioners – accompanied by live sound works by Rastegah and Ania Mokrzycka (Pel Bonheur) – will be dancing on the carpeted wooden floor of the Resonance Extra studio in South London, with the guidance of contact improvisation teacher and choreographer, Rick Nodine.

Contact Improvisation is a structured but improvised partner dance based on communication through touch. It is often practised in duet form but, unlike other partner dances, it does not follow gendered norms of partnering. Dancers respond to one another’s touch and move in response to that touch, making instantaneous decisions about pace, direction and momentum, and honing their skill of listening: contact dancers listen not only with their ears, but also their skin.

Tune in to immerse yourself into the soundscape of bodies colliding, lifting and being lifted, rolling, sharing weight, and practising a non-violent form of corporeal autonomy and co-operation.

Curated by Queer Kittens and Chrys Papaioannou, in collaboration with Rick Nodine, Rastegah, Milo Thesiger-Meacham and Ania Mokrzycka (Pel Bonheur).

This show is dedicated to Mimi Zhu’s Be Not Afraid of Love: Lessons on Fear, Intimacy, and Connection (2022), a collection of essays about embodying and re-learning love, mixed with some gorgeous gems from the past, the present and the future.

"Be Not Afraid of Love explores the intersections of love and fear in self-esteem, friendship, family dynamics, and romantic relationships, and extends out to its effects on society and the greater political realm. In sharing their own intimate encounters with oppression, healing, joy, and community, Mimi invites readers to reflect deeply on their own experiences as well, with the intention of acting as a guide to undoing the hurt or uncertainty within them. In this heartrending and revolutionary book, Mimi reminds us, be not afraid of love."

Walking, movement in place, in air, distance through time.

This episode is In the South of an Imaginary Island: Movement 1.

"I have an imaginary island. As part of a Groundworks project, I made a walk around the south of my island. As per the project instructions I walked between randomly chosen stopping points, each with associated ‘prompt’ words. The result is this sound work; this first half plays in January and the second half will play in February. More details, the associated text and a concertina-fold book can be viewed here."

"With the apocalyptic vision of Ballard and the acerbic attitude of Céline, MUEUM scatters human detritus over the shiny Perspex of our most dearly loved vitrines." – Chris McCabe

"A showcase, ransacked with horrid delight: Fowler's MUEUM presents the placid, lurid violences of surveillance and exhibition with startling and brutal stylishness. A seething triumph." – Eley Williams

A novella of ludic menace, a puzzle without pieces, SJ Fowler’s MUEUM pictures the amassing and dismantling of a public edifice, brick by brick, in prose that refracts and breaks the light emitted by history’s ornaments and history’s omissions. Suspended in unknowable time there is a city; in the city, an event, a conflict. Amid the ash, fog and cloud, there is the manufacturing of a space—a many-winged museum on the make.

On the plinths, exquisite remnants of life present and past—adorning the walls, portraits of gentle torture sit hand in hand with brutal and statuesque portrayals of camaraderie—and the gift-shop is littered with plastic curios and gilt revulsion. Goya, as atmosphere rather than artwork, hovers amid iron age ghosts, bronzed ideas, and antiqued anxiety.

Pacing the hall, atrium and corridor, there are those who keep the museum—the various midwives to the building’s demands—and those, like the reader, who merely visit; those who pass through the vacant galleries adrift with questions. What can I touch? What is next to Egypt? What is hidden in Mesopotamia? Where do we eat? Drink? Where is the entrance? The exit? Following the tradition of the Nestbeschmutzer authors (“one who dirties their own nest,” vis-à-vis Bernhard and Gombrowicz, et al), in Fowler’s curt, spiralling, and acute work, the museum’s keepers will answer.

A four-part, unabridged broadcast of SJ Fowler’s debut novella, MUEUM — as read by the author — recorded on location in Resonance Extra's South London studios. Produced by Dominic Jaeckle and Milo Thesiger-Meacham.
