INTERMISSION

Performance · Premiere by vAL
In the frame of Emerging Change Tanzfestival

Tickets
we have arrived at a well-deserved breaking point
where logic can tilt to a bend....
where dreams can spill out, linger and perhaps mend...
where like minds can ravenously surrender... 
into gathering
...to reevaluate how time has misbehaved and the necessity of an 
interruption.
this is the intermission.

Accessibility 
The event lasts approx. 60 minutes and takes place in Studio 5. It will be held mostly in English.

Beanbags will be available throughout the event for visitors with physical disabilities or limited mobility. Seating will be arranged along the walls of the room, with a few cushions placed on the floor for additional seating options.

Studio 5 is accessible without steps, but has a raised wooden floor area accessible via a 1.5% inclined ramp. Wheelchair spaces are available. The barrier-free toilet is located in the foyer of the studio.
 
Content notes:
The performance includes a significant amount of spoken and pre-recorded text in English. Sound will be present but at a lower volume than a typical concert. One lamp may flicker intermittently. The performance will be relaxed.

vAL

vAL (he/him) is an adopted identity of artist Corey Scott-Gilbert. vAL’s agenda is to further understand the mental state from which creation springs; concerned with sketches of possibility unconfined by genre, gender, demographic or any other limitation placed on the individual by society. The artist’s personal history of movement serves as a vehicle for interrogating their own breath, often collaging word-play and physical utterance which often serve as the foundation for their multidisciplinary playgrounds. vAL uses each creative process as an opportunity to analyze and rediscover truths that forge beyond current conformities to make space for alternative realities of otherness. vAL highlights the absurdities of an abysmal, limiting and globally omnipresent social condition, presenting curated realities where joys are not sought after but rather devoured as a means to restore a malnourished existence. The work is made to lay adjacent to the conundrums of our current world and reflect hopes that align with catharsis.
