Cécile B. Evans: dress rehearsal for Notations for an Adaption of Giselle (welcome to whatever forever), 2020
The format of rehearsals also plays an important role at the Institue of Melodic Healing, as a way to reverse the processes of making and presenting in live art. Cécile B. Evans will present two streamed "dress rehearsals" for her new performance Notations for an Adaptation of Giselle (welcome to whatever forever).
Online on Frieze Youtube Channel from 7pm, Thursday 8 October.
LIVE is Frieze London's showcase for Live Art and sound. This year LIVE is curated by Victor Wang (王宗孚) (Artistic Director and Chief Curator of M WOODS Museum, Beijing). For the first time ever, LIVE will take place at 9 Cork Street in London, where Wang and a group of artists, will establish a temporary Institute of Melodic Healing during Frieze Week. This institute of sound and performance will last for 111 hours, aiming to promote community and healing by thinking through sound and body.
