In this event, Folu Odimayo explores the parallels between choreography and sculpture. He examines a range of methods used by choreographers to explore the concept of embodiment in dance and movement practice, and how this spatial practice relates to sculpture making. He reflects on approaches to interpreting space within multidisciplinary practices, and the relationship between choreography, emotion and psychology.
This event was organised by artist Milo Kester.

Milo Kester explores ideas of non-human agency and intelligence, folklore, storytelling, science and ecologies. His practice is based in making; playing with form, mass, balance and material, he explores the boundaries between sculpture, painting and drawing. Milo graduated from Goldsmiths’ College in 2018.
