Abstract

Part of Liz Pavey's practice research project Living Stone investigating how durational improvised dance can help us make sense of the immensity and rhythms of geological time through developing an embodied sense that we carry deep time within us, Deep Time Bodies was a participatory project offered by Liz Pavey in partnership with Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums. Nine workshops lead to an hour-long improvised performance in the Fossil Stories gallery of the GNM Hancock and followed by a discussion forum. The movement-based improvisation was supported by projection of images of fossils displayed gallery and a soundscape incorporating snippets from interviews with the participants and poetry some of them had written during the project.The practice foregrounds our elementality and intra-being - specifically our embodiment as rock, our mineral composition and lithic trans-corporeality - and our embedment within natural cycles and ecosystems.

Guest panel members: Dr Martyn Hudson (Northumbria University), Sylvia Humphrey (Geologist GNM Hancock), Naomi Foster (Geology Projects Officer, North Pennines), and Ester Eriksson (PhD researcher in eco-somatic dance practice)
Production support: Alfons Bytautas, Lesley-Anne Pace, Mike Booth, Liam Ferris
