Arcane Portals; (re)invention of rites of passage
On Saturday, we’ll host Gathering: On Tending & Enduring a free day of conversation and sharings exploring performance and ritual, collaboration and endurance featuring Marilyn Arsem, Anne Bean, emilyn claid, Martin Hargreaves and Martin O’Brien (11.00, 90 mins). There’ll be a collective performance by participants in Arcane Portals workshop, looking at the (re)invention of rites of passage (12.30, 90 minutes). Live Art Development Agencyand Future Ritual will facilitate a group conversation about endurance of practice through a challenging landscape, and what we might need from one another as collaborators in this work (14.00, 120 mins).
Arcane Portals – part of Ceremony;
CEREMONY was the culmiation of a year long programme of activites curated by Future Ritual, exploring art making as a mode of gathering and ritual in this fragmented age. Across the festival the individual contributions of the presenting artists and the attentive presence of our audiences generated a potent collective energy, sharing myriad approaches to ideas of ritual, art, belief and ceremony.
