Bad Bias: FEEDBACK TO FEEDB′ACK

presents a curated live programme exploring feedback as a way of understanding how we exist in relation to one another, through experimental sound, movement, site-responsive performance and improvisation. Featuring. Bad Bias Amanda Pang, Dann Xiao, Lucia H Chung, Regan Bowering, Sakuretz! and Soo Hahn Poster: Dana Dawud Doors 7:30pm Tickets £10-18 TICKETS An input enters a system and produces an output. When that output returns as a new input and shapes what happens next, we call it feedback. Feedback can be technical or social. Feedback is everywhere. Presented by, brings together women and gender-marginalised artists from East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) and diasporic backgrounds to explore feedback through the ways we meet, affect and are changed by one another. Bad Bias FEEDBACK TO FEEDB′ACK The programme draws on (感應), an early Chinese cosmological idea of ‘stimulus and response’, to think about resonance between people and things, especially where certain experiences, conditions or qualities are shared. The programme extends this idea from individual encounters to the communities we form and move between, considering how these communities overlap and exist within a wider, interconnected ecology rather than in isolation. ganying Through experimental sound, movement and improvisation, feedback takes shape within each work, while the evening as a whole unfolds as one continuous feedback loop. The evening unfolds as a feedback loop, moving through initial signal, encounter, ganying 感應 (resonance and response), and return as a new input. ACT 0 — INITIAL SIGNAL Prologue Dann Xiao × Sakuretz! ACT 1 — ENCOUNTER Lucia H Chung × Regan Bowering × Amanda Pang ACT 2 — GANYING 感應 Soo Hahn with Dann Xiao, Hannah Mason, Manpreet Gehlan and vincente ACT 3 — RETURN AS NEW INPUT ↺ FEEDBACK LOOP is a multidisciplinary artist based in London, working between fine art and experimental theatre. Holding a MA degree from the Royal College of Art, and is currently doing another MA at Central Saint Martins. Dann’s practice intervenes body in spaces and objects, reorganising the relationships through motions. They create a scenography that reinterprets the nature of nature, and the meaning of found objects, providing solutions to certain problems that may cause more problems. Dann Xiao (Explosion of True Colours) is a project by Japanese composer and performer. Sakuretz! Motoya Sakuretz! invites people into experiences where their true colours can be found & erupt—where one spark meets another, giving rise to an ever-evolving cycle of positive synergy. Originally from Singapore, is a contemporary dance artist based in London. She trained at The Place(LCDS) before joining the post-graduate company Verve. She has worked with a range of artists such as Luca Signoretti, Sattva Nguyen, Bosmat Nossan, and Sung Im Her. Most recently, she was an intern with Skånes Dansteater and performed with the company in a phenomenological site-specific work by Philippe Blanchard. Amanda’s artistic practice spans across movement research, improvisation, and performance. She is interested in exploring multidisciplinary and collaborative works to expand her creative engagements and open new avenues for her artistry. On top of her creative work, she is also currently co-producing a Singaporean/Southeast Asian performance event, rojak.rojak. A platform to celebrate our cultural identity while showcasing and supporting the works of emerging artists within the community. Amanda Pang is a Taiwanese experimental noise artist based in London, United Kingdom. She performs and releases music under the alias ‘en creux’ where sound creation springs from her interests and fascinations in the inherent noise floor within audio equipment. She uncovers and reveals such hidden noise via her manipulations with no-input feedback mixing. The volatile nature of feedback and the unpredictable glitch from the excessive energy generated within the equipment becomes her improvisational and…
