The Circle of Everything

Fri 15 May and Sat 16 May
15 May to 16 May - 15:00

Full price: £15.00
Concessions: £12.00 (Incl booking fees) The Cockpit, Gateforth Street, London NW8 8EH An interdisciplinary solo performance featuring live painting, aerial hoop dance and moving image projection. Using the symbolism of the circle, the work celebrates the life force that holds us up and gives us momentum to move, think, live and create. Invisible, infinite energy. It also explores duality of human existence; higher and lower, light and shadow, our sense of connection to oneself, others, and the world, as well as our illusion of separation. Integrated into the performance is live Japanese Enso painting at a large scale. This allows the human body to move within the shape bringing together the choreographic and visual practices. Enso painting is a spiritual practice where the iconic circular symbol is painted in one masterstroke, one breath and no corrections afterwards. The practice gives form to the flow of the energy in the moment, making invisible synchronicities visible. Symbolically, the iconic Zen circle represents the circle of life, unity and connection to all existence. In the final scene, the performer pours colour from above onto the Enso, the organic flow tracing the spinning hoop and translating motion directly onto the canvas. Each performance will finish with a live Q&A and a discussion with the artist lead by actor Caroline Partridge. The artwork will remain on stage afterwards to see up close and will go on display & sale as part of simultaneous Kamila CK’s solo exhibition with Firepit Gallery, London... READ MORE>
