How are you negotiating practice in this time?
Held weekly across September, each iteration of Temperance Movement invites two artists to share their current preoccupations in a supportive, in-progress format — one artist is invited to do so through movement, the other, through speech.
Curated by Dr. Brooke Stamp, the series draws on the history of Temperance Hall as a site of public meetings, where speeches, debates, and personal testimonies were used to persuade and mobilise audiences. Reframed within a contemporary choreographic context, Temperance Movement adopts this structure as a way to create space for critical reflection, articulation, and dialogue around choreographic practice.
Positioned between a showing and a forum, each evening offers a platform for artists to test ideas publicly and to contribute to a broader conversation around the conditions, languages, and preoccupations of contemporary movement-based practice.
