Qasim Riza Shaheen (as Anokha Laadla) – Conversing with Angels
live art/theatre
Looking at complex issues around identity and the afterlife Qasim uses Kathak, movement and visual and poetic references to explore the holy war that takes place between the internal and the external self.
“I seek refuge
in the love of my creator
in the arms of my father
in the conviction of the man I love
in the innocence of the unborn one”

live art
A live art performance installation exploring mother/daughter relationships. A critical examination of the emotional and physical boundaries of an ambiguous bond, so often fraught with resentment, contradictions and conflicting expectations.

Suki Chan and Dinu Li – Shadow Songs
live art/installation
A performance within an installation of photographic and video images, evocative fabrics, objects, sounds and scents. Using classical imagery and cultural cliché, traditional folk and modern digitalisation the piece investigates the notion of dualities and explores the boundaries between the real and the imaginary.
Originally from Hong Kong, Suki now lives and works in Manchester. Her primary medium is installation but increasingly she is exploring moving imagery, sound and live performance. This piece is a collaboration with photographer Dinu Li.
