Deciphers - Work in Progress Sharing and Artist Q&A
Thursday 2 November 2023 at 6pm
Dance City, Newcastle
Deciphers is a physical performance by Naishi Wang and Jean Abreu that brings together elements of Chinese folk dance, Brazilian dance styles, spoken word, breath, and ink on paper. Both artists share a concern for the corporeal connections between immigration and translation as a linguistic phenomenon centering the immigrant experience.
As co-performers and choreographers, Wang and Abreu make the stage their blank canvas, using raw, improvisational movements to highlight the body as the base of communication and meaning.
The evening will consist of a sharing of the work followed by a Q&A.
Tickets to this sharing are free of charge, however booking is still required.
