Artist and performance maker Eve Stainton presents their choreographic touring work, Impact Driver. Featuring live welding, movement, and live sound scored by Leisha Thomas and Mica Levi. Performed by Tink Flaherty, Karima Francis, Wet Mess, Romeo Roxman Gatt, Charlotte Valentine and Eve Stainton.

Impact Driver is interested in methodologies for constructing thriller-like suspense. How suspense can be sustained as the main event, in the absence of a climax or traditional resolution. Borrowing the logic from a welding workshop, Stainton foregrounds activities that require live negotiation and decision making; making visible how scenes and objects take their shape, and continue to move through meanings. Atmospheres, garments, feelings and materials, generative and in tension.

Featuring an ensemble from different creative backgrounds who don’t usually work in the field of dance, this research continues Stainton’s work in celebrating the gender non-conforming lesbian and trans-masc experience, of which there are many, and what foregrounding these identities means to the white western Contemporary Dance canon.
