LIVE ART LUNCH #2
ANIMALS IN PRACTICE & EMBODIED TRADITIONS

HANNA TUULIKKI & LUCY SUGGATE
ZOOM CONVERSATION
Sat 29 May 2021
1pm (60-90 mins)

ACCESS: This discussion will be Live captioned, and British Sign Language Interpreted by Yvonne Strain & Anna Kitson.

A conversation between Lucy Suggate and Hanna Tullikki as they reflect on the connections in their creative practices.

Hanna and Lucy will both present online streamed performance work at Take Me Somewhere 2021. Both artists navigate human/animal embodiment in their performance, working creatively with animal behaviours and physicality, folk tradition and mimesis. Meet the artists as they compare their thinking and approaches to working in a discussion of Human/Animal working, ethics and ways of embodying damaged and vulnerable ecologies, and how we find structure in traditions.

For our Live Art Lunches this year, things are a little different. We understand we can’t be together in person, but please feel welcome to bring a cuppa or maybe even your lunch along with you. There will be an opportunity to take part in the Q+A as part of this event by submitting a question into the chat - if you need any support with this, or would like to submit a question in advance, please contact us.  Questions will be selected by the host.

Lucy Suggate is a dance artist and choreographer based in the UK. Making working since 2003, she is recognised for her articulate and engaging solo performances as well as choreographic installations and public scores inspired by change and cooperation. Her movement practice is an ongoing inquiry into the perceptual and physical expansion that occurs when engaged in long-term moving and thinking. https://www.lucysuggate.com/

Hanna Tuulikki is a critically acclaimed artist-composer-performer working across the visual arts, music and performance. Blending vocal composition, choreography, costume and drawing, her work investigates how bodies communicate beyond and before words, often drawing on traditional practices of mimesis of the more-than-human to offer alternative approaches to making kin. Recent projects engage with what it means to live on a damaged planet, proposing contemporary queer ritual as a way to process the trauma of ecological awareness. Based in Glasgow, she was Magnetic North Theatre's first Artist Attachment supported by Jerwood (2017-19), and shortlisted for the Max Mara Art Prize (2020).
