Shawn Escarciga
​LIVE PERFORMANCE
FRIDAY, September 28th at 7pm

Shawn Escarciga (Brooklyn, NY, USA)  is an “experimental” “performance” “artist” whose work is based in Butoh and the creation of new movement paradigms, particularly around the queer body and his deep capacity to feel things. His work has been shown throughout New York City (Panoply Performance Lab, Glasshouse ArtLifeLab [Performeando], Queens Museum [LiveArt.us], MIX NYC, Triskelion, Chinatown Soup [Performance Anxiety], The Clemente, Le Petit Versailles), domestically (Boston, Chicago, Lexington, New Orleans), and abroad (Berlin). He has collaborated and performed with collectives throughout New York City, including Butoh company, The Vangeline Theater, and the multidisciplinary social justice group, Gender/Power, as well as teaching movement workshops independently for Otion Front Studio and the University of Kentucky. He thinks a lot about classism, queer visibility, how to light patriarchal structures on fire effectively, and what it would be like to live in a country that supports non-commercial artists, which might look something like eating a 2000 calorie diet regularly and owning a Shiba.

​Mairead Delaney
LIVE PERFORMANCE
​FRIDAY, September 29th at 7:30pm

Mairead Delaney's work explores how gendered bodies respond and resist under the unleashing of systemic violence. Her questions lie around how to render these violences sensible but not re-made, how to carry the burden of what we know, once we have come to know it, and how to speak to hollow spaces made by enforced silence, by power which continues to exist as threat. She has worked with collectives and currently her performance work interrogates the body acting in solidarity. Delaney is currently pursuing her MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Previously, she worked in Ireland with the Irish women’s collective Survivors of Symphysiotomy. Delaney has exhibited internationally, in New York, Ireland and the UK, Chile and Ethiopia. She has presented work in the Science Gallery Dublin, in partnership with MoMA’s Design and Violence, at MANA Contemporary Chicago, The Queens Museum, the VI International Biennial of Performance DEFORMES, for the Dublin Live Art Festival, Glasgow's BUZZCUT, Rapid Pulse International Performance Art Festival, the Brooklyn International Festival of Performance Art.
