With questions from UNREAL curators Tom Cassani and Augusto Corrieri, the discussion will touch on covert choreographies, hidden bodies, high rituals and Show Women.
Join us for this insightful and important conversation on performance and magic.
Jo Bannon is an artist working in performance, choreography and film. Her practice is concerned with how our specific bodies, identities and sensory perceptions impact how we experience the world around us, and how this sensory experience can or cannot be conveyed. Her work is informed by her identity as a disabled woman with albinism and attempts to unpick the ways we look, hear and sense our immediate environment in order to rethink or make unfamiliar these intrinsic human behaviours. Bannon’s work is led by form and so manifests in various mediums including intimate encounters designed for single or small audiences, staged performance, dance, film and installation.
Dr Marisa Carnesky is a British performance artist and Showwoman.
