Pioneers Go East Collective
My name’sound by Pioneers Go East Collective is a dance-theatre and film installation inspired by thought-provoking literary icon James Baldwin's Artist Manifesto. A meditation on creative agency and Queer identity, we create a space of inclusion to celebrate cross-cultural and contemporary stories of resilience and otherness, juxtaposed against censorship and isolation.
Emilee Lord
“I look for faith in the fundament. Is it enough to be on earth? And what is grace? When I draw this, it is smoke and knots on glass.”
Drawing Lessons is an interdisciplinary work that combines storytelling, live drawing, and movement. The memories and themes discussed in the text are framed through the language of drawing practice. The choreography is taken from an exploration of the text and the gestures of the body when drawing. Emilee Lord has taught Drawing 1 and 2 and life drawing. The text is organized like she would organize drawing lessons, with each skill set a metaphor for remembering, keeping, and forgiving.
