Chinese-Singaporean dance artist Chantel Foo is looking for West Midlands-based individuals to share a space with for a creative afternoon, to contribute to the development of a new work BRIGHT HOT R-AGE. The work explores the themes of identity, home and belonging through gestures, movements, and dialogue.  

During the afternoon, Chantel will lead the group through an exploration of thoughts and feelings of rage through movement, with participants being invited to take part in the recording of sound samples.  

The workshop lasts around three hours; it is divided into three sections, with a fifteen-minute break in between. In the first hour, participants will be led through an embodied visualisation exercise, followed by a facilitated sharing about rage, barriers and belonging in the second. The final section will be creating and recording sound samples (if consenting). 

Chantel is especially keen to hear from members of the LGBTQIA+ communities, people with disabilities & those from the Chinese Diaspora 

Our studio is fully accessible; please let us know when booking if you have any additional access needs that will make your visit to FABRIC more comfortable. 

You don’t need any dance experience to attend, this is a creative session that feeds into Chantel’s current work. For those aged 18 and over.

Please note this session will be photographed.

This movement-based session is part of Chantel’s FABRIC residency in Birmingham for Autumn 2023. This research will feed into  Chantel’s current work.
