Geraldine Hudson
A Rite of Sorrow
How would it feel, to hold grief
In the palm of your hand
And then you let it go…
The Rite of Sorrow is a 2-part interactive act, inviting in and giving acceptance to the overwhelming times of grief we are all inhabiting. Geraldine facilitates this performative working, through meditation and raw materials, allowing for decolonisation of our emotional connectivity.
Elizabeth Salazar
Piles of Pipes
Script by Elizabeth Salazar, movement by Romina Dazzarola
Pipes is the result of transferring the findings around water sanitation into a performance. In her usual poetically loaded way Salazar starts with an invitation for recalling forgotten dreams. With this performance, Salazar continues giving voice to the affections of water.
Departing from the notion of water as a deity, she shares her quest to illustrate the sanctity of water intertwined with salubrity. Pipes is where the construction of societal hierarchies are exposed and mocked.
Eleanor Arnold
Oh, Shephard!
Curated by soft shock collective
Participatory choir ensemble piece scoring the Shepard scale, a series of tones spaced at intervals and overlapped to create a suspenseful auditory illusion of continual ascension. Collectively performed, Oh, Shephard! experiments with digital overload and mutual unease, and the possibilities of moving through feelings of discomfort in shared efforts of reenactment and rituals of group vocalisation.
Curated by soft shock, a London-based curatorial collective led by curators Júlia Polo and Georgie Worth, whose curatorial ethos is shaped by interdisciplinary research in the fields of ecology, memory and place. They aim to mediate active modes of participation and facilitate plural spaces for intergenerational and interspecies knowledge sharing, collective slow doing and process-oriented practices.

The Eternal Exchange
With ãssia ghendir, Mohammed Rowe, and Robert Hall
The Eternal Exchange is an invitation to connect through breath and to summon our essential interconnectedness. In this participatory networked performance, audience phones become channels of vital energy, extending the performers’ breath and transforming Nunhead Cemetery Chapel into a living symphony of respiration.
Amidst the ruins open to sky, trees, and spirits, the work offers a vital pause — a chance to rest in the play of opposites and return attention home to the body. In an increasingly irrespirable world, it reclaims our “right to breathe,” subverting technologies of racial capitalism into tools that honour life.
A collaborative project by Clémentine Bedos, ãssia ghendir, Mohammed Rowe, and Robert Hall. Supported by Immersive Arts funding.
