This is a lecture which turns into a workshop which turns into a performance.
In this hybrid gathering where the audience is invited to listen, experience and participate with their bodies and voices, Vancouver-based dance artist Lee Su-Feh discusses her algorithm Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go and shares ways to use it.
This simple set of instructions for dancing across distances has come out of Su-Feh's research as a choreographer, performer, and Fitzmaurice Voicework® teacher since 2018; and is part of a larger, ongoing collaboration - a long, slow dance - with a mask, carved by Wuikinuxv/Klahoose artist Bracken Hanuse Corlett.
Touch Me Hold Me Let Me Go is expressed through a number of forms - a set of poems, a lecture performance, a workshop, a durational practice. Find out more about these different iterations at Lee Su-Feh's website.
In conjunction with the lecture performance, Su-Feh also facilitated the Radical Tenderness workshop at Five Arts Centre in February 2023.
