Atong Atem, Gerwyn Davies, Tim Georgeson and Sue Healey explore personal and cultural forms of identity through fantastical transformations, elaborate costuming, fierce synergies between sound and movement, and poetry of dance. Atem’s photography celebrates colour and culture through self-portraiture, presenting stylised imagery with an intimate gaze; Davies’ highly staged settings and characters in garish costumes represent the seen and unseen; Georgeson’s immersive cinematic spaces combine art and documentary to capture the intricacies of contemporary life; and Healey pushes the boundaries of dance to reveal the universality of movement.
