Live Choreography: jes sachse and Alice Sheppard

Gardiner Museum

After a week-long studio intensive together, British-born dancer Alice Sheppard collaborates with artist jes sachse for a live choreographic work in support of I wanna dance with somebody. Chair and non-chair users respectively, Sheppard and sachse will explore how mobility and movement is fundamental to public spaces.  About I wanna dance with some body 
Local artist and curator jes sachse addresses the negotiation of bodies moving in public/private space with a series of outdoor sculptures. Reflecting on how bodies interact with the architecture of access, jes sachse’s I wanna dance with some body considers both the expressive and radical possibilities of the incline plane.

Presented by TD Bank Group
Inspired by the transformative aspects of ceramics, both real and metaphorical, the Community Arts Space is the Gardiner’s incubator for arts-based community projects. In collaboration with local artists, designers, and collectives, the Museum will mount five public projects that examine how cultural knowledge is passed on or performed, and the role of a museum in cultivating the so-called lived and living memory. Join us for free art workshops, performances, talks, and more all summer long.
