Mise-en-Crise: Digital Commission by Malik Nashad Sharpe
Tuesday, May 18, 2021
10:00 am – 11:30 am
EDT/GMT-4
Online Event
10 am NY l 4 pm Vienna
World premiere of the Center for Human Rights and the Arts' second digital commission, featuring a Q&A with artist Malik Nashad Sharpe (Marikiscrycrycry) and writer Hélène Selam Kleih, hosted by Dr. Fintan Walsh (Birkbeck Centre for Contemporary Theatre).
Mise-en-Crise is a film that considers choreography as both the site and the scenography of hope, performatively carved from crisis and rebellion. Playing with the theatrical concept of
mise-en-scène
, this work uses dance as a material tool and texture for elemental seduction and strategic unruliness.
Malik Nashad Sharpe
(Marikiscrycrycry) is an artist working with choreography. They create performances that are formally experimental and engaged with the construction of atmosphere, affect, and dramaturgy. Their performances often utilise social themes and topics as portals to unveil and unearth ulterior and undercurrent perspectives. Often making underneath their alias and aesthetics project Marikiscrycrycry, they have been especially concerned with the affective and textural qualities of dance and how it can transform, disarm, and critically reflect upon mourning and melancholia.
Hélène Selam Kleih
is a writer, publisher and model primarily concerned with the politics of language and its ability to elevate the voices of those marginalised, ultimately working towards the depoliticisation of language. Her work concentrates on inter-generational trauma as a result of displacement and the abolition of slavery, criminal justice system and data. She is the writer and founder of HIM + HIS, a charity and anthology on men and mental health, and currently works alongside psychotherapy practices offering resources to young Black men in the boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth in London.
