Two new solo works by Emilyn Claid (UK) in collaboration with Heidi Rustgaard (NO/UK) and Florence Peake (UK)

SKINNED
Emilyn Claid, queer artist in her 7^th decade, transforms in performance, teasing gestures of animal and human, crossing the arc between hunted and hunter, power and pleasure, seeing and being seen. Visually intense and intimate, Skinned is made in collaboration with choreographer Heidi Rustgaard and performed by Emilyn Claid to a newly commissioned score by queer pop producer Planningtorock.

Sections of material from Skinned form part of Emilyn’s new solo show emilyn claid UNTITLED.

MATERIAL
“I have squidged my left foot into a block of clay – a heavy, viscous mass – and I am scraping, clawing, molding clumps of it, slapping on shapes. This task feels erotic, a pleasurable experience, manipulating amorphous bulbous contours, forming an entity that is beginning to resemble the base of gnarled old tree trunk. At the same time, I seem to be sculpting an external manifestation of the painful swelling in my osteo-arthritic left ankle … “ (Claid 2022)

Performed by Emilyn Claid and made in collaboration with choreographer/director Florence Peake.

Sections of material from Material form part of Emilyn’s new solo show emilyn claid UNTITLED.
