Follow that Feeling is a series of performances in ACE Open’s front room over two evenings, addressing modes of improvisation and experimentation through form and process.
Invited artists span disciplines from sound art to writing, and have been encouraged to think through improvisation as a guiding prompt for working: How might we think about improvisation as a subversive tool in a world that prioritises rationality and logic? How might improvisation be a pedagogic strategy, a way of valuing intuitive felt responses to the world? Can improvisation be thought of as a feminist methodology?
