Artist talk: Haunting Newstead Abbey

I’m very excited to announce this artist panel discussion happening next week as part of #dancingmuseums2.

In advance of being in residence at Newstead Abbey, a stately home in Nottinghamshire, three artists, mayfield brooks, Mary Pearson and Seke Chimutengwende discuss their choreographic research: looking at ghosts and haunted houses as a metaphor for how histories of transatlantic slavery and colonialism haunt the present, and exploring fear as an antidote to trauma.

The panel has been curated by myself and will be facilitated by Season Butler.

The event has now passed, but you can watch the talk on Youtube here.

You can find out more about the residencies here.
