A live movement installation by Siobhan Davies, Andrea Buckley, Helka Kaski, Rachel Krische, Charlie Morrissey & Matthias Sperling, who use their professional history to question how dance is archived
Following performances in the UK and Munich, live movement installation Table of Contents returns to London as part of the ICA Off-Site programme of live performance, coinciding with Frieze London.
Resembling a form of movement laboratory, a series of evolving choreographic situations take place in a shared space between performers and audiences. The work offers the possibility of a live dialogue to experience and consider how the past reveals itself in our present actions.
Using the archive of Siobhan Davies Dance as an initial but not exclusive starting point, Table of Contents explores what archival dance material could look like and how it could be experienced. Each of the artists delves into material from their past using choreography and verbal commentary to question how we remember and retain movement. Concepts of archive and choreography are a constant reference point, from investigating dance history to looking at the human body as an archive.
Table of Contents is a collaboration between Siobhan Davies Dance, the ICA (London), Tramway (Glasgow) and Arnolfini (Bristol).
