Temporary Hold (2023)

Created with Rhian Hinkley for the Upstairs Studio at Temperance Hall, TEMPORARY HOLD is a one-off durational performance installation: Saturday 25 November 2023 from 2-5pm.

TEMPORARY HOLD reflects our search for shelter, security, and stability within the spaces we inhabit. Stretching across 3 hours, as raw materials rest, lean, hold things up and weigh things down, the dancers find themselves caught, as if in the middle of an event under construction. As they deal with the weight of the space, waiting out the TEMPORARY HOLD, we’re left to ask - can we find somewhere that will house and protect us? That will, even temporarily, give us the shelter we seek?

Dancers: Jazmyn Carter and Rachel Mackie
