Saturday 27 June, 7 to 8pm
All Saints’ Church, Tudeley, Kent
’I Remember (You) Changing’ is a live performance with dance, speech and song developed and performed by Sarah White with acoustic singing by Donna Matthews, Jack Noutch and Kate Ryan. Moving between improvisation and choreography, the piece is a prayerful exhortation directed to multiple people at once and an attempt to communicate at the edges of language. The work draws from numerous sources, including a strange story of a talking donkey in the Bible. In this story, the she-donkey is more spiritually awake than the human prophet, and takes on human language in act of entangled empathy.
The work has been adapted for All Saint's Church, Tudeley, responding to the stained glass windows by Marc Chagall and his returning motif of a donkey who appears throughout the windows. The donkey acts as a witness to the unfolding events.
The work was developed with support from a number of individuals, including Lizzi Kew Ross and Zoi Dimitriou.
Sarah White is a London based interdisciplinary artist working across somatic movement practices, performance, writing and installation. Her research thinks with, beside and between movement research and faith practices, exploring the feedback loops and accumulative dialogues between them. Recent public performances have been programmed by Future Ritual, Nomas* Projects for Art Night Dundee, Religion and Art Live, the Goethe Institute, Royal College of Art, Society for the Study of Theology, Koppel Project and The Swiss Church.
The performance is estimated to last an hour. You are welcome to spend longer in the church before and after.
