KnowingUnknowing

KnowingUnknowing is an improvised performance work for music and dance and camera created and performed by dancer Helen Kindred, guitarist/composer Benjamin Dwyer and film-maker Pete Gomes. Through studio exploration, live and for-camera performances, the work investigates possible relationships of self through shifting environments of sound, sight and gesture. KnowingUnknowing asks questions of our embodied knowing, form and vulnerability. Inspired by texts from Ted Hughes and Samuel Beckett the work moves in the liminal space between conscious and unconscious being as we interrogate the rhythms and relationships of the spaces we occupy in an improvised dialogue between the three disciplines.
