SUMMARY:Spirit Plastic
LOCATION:Studio 1\, London Performance Studios\, Penarth Centre
DESCRIPTION:Spirit Plastic by \, Bruch‘- is a play about Dadaist poet\, n
 ude model\, and proto-punk Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven.In the summer of 1
 927\, Elsa writes a letter to the patron Peggy Guggenheim\, seeking fundin
 g. She proposes an experimental modelling studio in Paris: a new kind of a
 rtistic laboratory in which bodies\, identities\, and materials might be e
 ndlessly transformed\, casting her art of posing as a force of metamorphos
 is\, spiritual liberation\, and radical possibility.A century later\, Spir
 it Plastic returns to this forgotten episode in the early history of perfo
 rmance art\, speculatively re-staging the Baroness's tragicomic quest to f
 inance her project as a space of resonance for the conditions of artistic 
 life and labour today. What happens when the figure of the artist becomes 
 symptomatic of the pressures of neoliberal self-fashioning? And what if co
 ntemporary performance art can be understood\, in part\, as a kind of cryp
 to-religion\; a system of rituals\, beliefs and ecstatic promises that tra
 nsfigures emancipatory desires into economic and existential precarity? Ac
 ross shifting tableaux of gestural poetry\, demonological posing\, pantomi
 me ballet\, pedagogical play\, and theatrical grotesque\, \, Bruch‘- mod
 els the artist as a subject caught between fleeting visions of autonomy an
 d the demands of perpetual self-production. Together with dancers Frances 
 Chiaverini and Snorre Elvin\, composer Stanislav Iordanov\, author Théo C
 asciani and others\, they confront what remains of the bittersweet promise
  of artistic freedom when every aspect of life is increasingly absorbed in
 to the logic of self-virtualisation\, consumption and performativity. No o
 ne will be turned away for lack of funds\, to discuss this with the team e
