Join us this Friday, 18 August, for the closing exhibition celebration of Ruby Brown—He Whakaari Ātārangi / Shadow Play, also featuring I(dent)ITY by Sekar Sari.
I(dent)ITY is a live performance for one night only commissioned in connection with the project of resident artist Ruby Brown, He Whakaari Ātārangi / Shadow Play —A study of movement, shadows & play.
Featuring esteemed actor, dancer, and researcher Sekar Sari, it is an improvisational response that re-imagines an earlier work of the same name, picking up on its spirit and scale alongside shared perspectives with Ruby and the sense of place on-site at correspondences.
The starting point for Sekar's work is her 'belief in the power of collecting insightful knowledge through body movement, writing, and character', a contention shared by Ruby, explored through her visual art, cultural heritage and weekly dance practice.
In this reimagining, the two artists' delve more deeply into their mutual search for spiritual connection and self-understanding through the transformative power of sound/voice, repetition, meditation, movement, and play in art-making. These themes are at the heart of Ruby’s exhibition and the performance - Sekar's choreography and Ruby's set and prop design. So too, is an examination of the spiritual essence of sound, materials and objects, the revelatory power of story-telling that exists beyond language and the idea of 'mana wāhine' - the power that all women hold. Guest entry is via the front gallery entrance from 7:30 pm to explore the latest exhibition by resident Ruby Brown. The performance will commence promptly at 8:00 pm and will run for approx. 30 minutes. Bookings are essential for access to the performance space from 7:30-8:30 pm. General access will re-open via the front gallery when the performance has ended, and we’d love you to join us then if preferred. If you’d like a sales catalogue of Ruby’s works available for sale, please email info@correspondences.work. We look forward to seeing you!
