READING THE ROOM -
Dages Juvelier Keates and Alexis Steeves
︎Monday 12th of June
︎From 19:30
︎Cash donation of SEK 100 recommended
Join us for an evening of experiments in methodology: from failed unison to solo ruminations, discourse on kabbalistic origin myths, readings on perversion, video projections, and of course, projective identifications.
A soft duration of accumulations begins at 7:30pm.
DAGES JUVELIER KEATES (she/they) is an artist born in Chicago in 1980. Working with and through the materiality of their body as a somatic space for holding paradox, their transdisciplinary praxis spans performance, choreography, dramaturgy, writing and pedagogy.
Deeply influenced by psychoanalysis, they carry out a queer feminist study of the subjective body as an accumulation of unanswered questions; a carnal, poetic, ephemeral archive entangled within and between “others.”
Keates’ work has been presented in Belgium, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the USA.
ALEXIS STEEVES (1979) is a dance artist based between New York City and Stockholm.
Steeves pursues ongoing research in live solo and collaborative performance praxis. Her work as a choreographer and teacher is nourished by 18 years as a licensed, therapeutic bodywork practitioner (LMT, SI).
She is currently conducting graduate work in the New Performative Practices program at the Stockholm University of the Arts as a scholarship recipient and holds a BA from Bard College (USA).
Her questions emerge from a substrata of long-term, interdisciplinary dialogues and the relational ethics and emergent practices upon which they can co-create and sometimes rest.
Her artistic work has been presented in Estonia, Germany, Spain, Sweden, the USA and UK.
