Mixtape

Mixtape explores what it takes for an individual to become part of a community. Invitation, resistance, acceptance and pleasure all play a part in this short performance that draws on Liam’s own experiences of slowly allowing feelings of isolation, threat and competition to be replaced by trust, intimacy and friendship. And just as communities are built through the development of shared experiences, landscapes and languages – here the soundscape, mixed live by Chloe Mason, is created by capturing the sounds of the dancing bodies. First one, then two, then three bodies build a unique and spontaneous ‘mixtape’ – a compilation of sounds that speak of the joyful complexity of a life lived fully – together.
