Alex Baczyński-jenkins: Untitled (holding Horizon)

Queer embodiment and desire, collectivity and subjectivity are all explored in this durational dance built around the simple movement of the box step.
Untitled (Holding Horizon) is a choreography that continues Alex Baczyński-Jenkins’ engagement with negotiations of desire, the materiality of gestures and affections of a queer commons.
Through sensual, alienated gestures and the box step - a movement used in several social dances - synchronisation, pleasure and alliance coexist with disorientation, limitation and loss.
The performers affect - and become affected by - the live mixed sound and light, while repetition and duration elicit shifting perceptions and associations: a memory of a rave, a ghostly gathering, a celebration and mourning, a militant congregation. In this altered state, the box step becomes a vessel.
Untitled (Holding Horizon) is a durational experience. The audience is able to enter and leave the space at their leisure
Artist and choreographer Alex Baczyński-Jenkins’ practice is concerned with the mediation of queer embodiment and relationality through choreographies of affect, empathy and intimacy.
