new work for different places
Since 1992 Gravity Feed has evolved a unique architectural
performance-theatre, employing large sets to create potent, subversive
and densely atmospheric events. Their impressive body of haunting work
in which movement, objects, sound, light and the audience are equal
partners traverses visual arts, architecture, and theatre.
The core ensemble comprises seven men with strikingly diverse
backgrounds and interests, ranging from mime, new media, photography,
philosophy, law, yoga, engineering, Complementary Health practise and
education to Butoh and Dance performance. The tensions and synergies
between the disciplines fuel the collaborative process that creates
each work.
For the audience this is a unique experience. Invited into the
vast, constantly changing landscape of the installation, audience
members are free to choose where, when and how they engage with the
work. 'I
have been to many performances by Gravity Feed. Most of them I find
intriguingly complex, yet with a clear message which I never manage to
describe or analyse', wrote artist Horst Kiechle who collaborated with Gravity Feed for Host.
