Edge Gestures is a short film made whilst on residency at Scottish Sculpture Workshop in 2018. The work is a response to instructions given by Emma Clayton via Forced Collaboration


Using the instructions as well as another score to improvise, the film documents our experiments moving in and out of synch with each other, in Lumsden Community Hall Aberdeenshire. The essay the score was extracted from is an autoethnographic piece called Join the movement when you feel ready which charts 6 months of research that led up to the residency. Through a process of translating the embodied knowledge written about in the essay, back into our bodies via the score - this short film explores the process of embodiment and awkwardness of moving towards something unknown. The film is soundtracked by drums recorded on site at SSW.
