Bauhaus performance for two performers and a flexiply strip
BWA is a new performance collaboration by Esyllt Lewis and Emma Lewis-Jones exploring the limitations of translation and complexities of non-verbal communication. The pair talk and move with a strip of flexiply in an amusing study of body language between two people.
The performance recalls the experiments with materiality and social formations of Bauhaus theatre in 1920s Germany.
The work-in-progress show has been to Perform Space Glasgow, Glasgow School of Art preview show for Mlitt 2022 and The Devils Brief Club in Moffat. It was most recently performed at Arcade Campfa, Cardiff.
Esyllt Angharad Lewis (@esylltesylit) is an artist, editor and translator from Craig-Cefn-Parc, Wales. Her practice deals with the tensions of language and communication from the perspective of a minority language speaker.
Emma Lewis-Jones is an artist from Nottingham (UK) working in a multitude of contexts, currently based in Glasgow. Emma's training in choreography and fine art underpin Emma's creative practice today. Emma draws on matters close to Emma's heart such as feminism, sexuality, climate justice, grief and the border crisis. Emma is excited by intervention, trespass, social justice and notions of legacy.
