Breath Pieces

project website: www.breathpieces.uk

Breath Pieces immerses in the experiencing of time,
performing a quiet and sensorial resistance to notions of time as contained measure
– a notion that equates time ‘spent’ to markets, to exchange, to consumption –
Breath Pieces breathes time’s duration

An expanded research project operating across art forms including performance, sound, video and drawing. The project researches into the material and energetic qualities of breath. The act of breathing is always a process. The project investigates how specific choreographic processes of breathing – or scores for the breath – might enact a producing of something.

Breath Pieces was presented at Tramway Glasgow in June 2018 in the format of an immersive performance installation with five performers. See more at the project website
