Fred Agni & Aaron Lang

Fred Agni: I’m a circus artist which has been focusing mostly on dance the last two years, I still feel quite new to it as I feel dance on stage is very different from that as a social practice, which I have a lot of experience in. My deep interests are being able to project a feeling through the work I do, I’m not particular if it’s the feeling I’m experiencing, but for me the connection with the audience is it because I’m not sure I would perform this way alone. I enjoy a lot working with technical lighting and scenography as it helps me fulfills the playful painter in me, and my interest in just images in our collective mind as transition of ideas. I feel most of my work has a comedy aspect to it, unintentional, as my inner clown an is hard to contain.
In this residency, I’m playing with the idea of failure and hell. It’s a bit unclear where this will take me, but it’s what is calling me right now. Is it a place in our collective religious imagination? Does it look like the same for everyone? What would it look like outside of religious connotation? Can we create it?

Aaron Lang: works dancing. In movement improvisations, he immerses himself in the meditative state of doing, of performative search and sense-making. He collaborates in sensual-magical ways with plants, catalyzing the transformation of our imagination with images and physical states that originate from socio-historic contexts.
