How can we move from making studies of the world to learning with the world? Entanglements takes a creative approach to learning and teaching, exploring the educational potential of collaborative art making. The event will entangle human and aquatic worlds, moving between freshwater and the deep ocean, learning through performance, video, music, poetry and song. Falling, flowing and following offer different models for an entangled education.
To draw, to write with words, to sculpt, to design, to compose music or dance, to collaborate with others in the making of performance and all other forms that art can take, all require that we study our subject, with our bodies, with our eyes, with our minds, with our hearts. The learning process makes the artwork; the art of making is an act of learning.
To teach these ways of making is also to learn. This holds true not only in the preparation for teaching but in the event of teaching itself which brings new insight through the interaction with other minds asking questions or making observations from other points of view.
This event will gently entangle a number of collaborative projects, and include a post-show discussion.
Karen Christopher, Tara Fatehi and Jemima Yong will share material from their new collaborative performance Skywater, Facewater, Underwater Waltz, which explores the movement of time in the deep sea via conversation, connectedness, durational work, and song-like structures.
David Overend (artistic researcher and EFI’s lecturer in interdisciplinary studies) and Matthew Whiteside (composer) will share their collaboration with the Waterways Collective of artists and scientists, in an exploration of a journey from river to sea, inspired by their time following Atlantic salmon.
Rhubaba Choir will present work developed for an entangled collaboration with Marie-Chantal Hamrock and Noah Tomson. Rhubaba invite artists to make works for and with the voices of the choir.
Award-winning poet, playwright and performer Hannah Lavery will respond creatively to the event’s theme and contents. Hannah was appointed Edinburgh Makar (city poet) in 2021.
