Flux Projects is proud to present Tracing Movement, a screening of seven short films exploring the intersection of mark marking and dance.
These ways of working, usually shown in separate contexts, are both fundamentally gestural and, as such, deeply kindred. Abstract art can be said to be the recorded outcome of movement, often intuitive, emotional and even musical. Dance, often thought of as transient and intangible, can also be perceived as a series of invisibly drawn shapes.
Join us for this one-off screening of seven short films by: M.Lohrum X Calvin Richardson, Caroline Denervaud, Daphne van de Velde, Olive Hardy X Lydia Walker, Megan Rooney, Heather Hansen and Jade Blackstock.
Doors open: 18:30
Event run time: 1hr (i.e. 19:00-20:00)

Flux Projects is proud to present Holding On, a series of six short films exploring the relationship between our bodies and the physical space around us. As we increasingly relate to one another through social media, augmented reality and AI-generated imagery, our perception of and relationship to physical space is set in an unprecedented context.
With this in mind, we have invited six unique artists, whose primary practices span a range of media, including choreography, filmmaking and video art, to each showcase a short film touching on such questions as: How do we relate to physical space and each other? Has technology affected or possibly reconfigured these relations? In this new era of metaphysical perception and expression, is our relation to our bodies and the physical space around us alienated or renewed?
This screening will showcase the six short films in the series by: Mathilde Lin X Jack Whiteley, Anouk Jouanne X Scarlett Gardner, Ella Posti, Rebecca Moss, Nadine Muncey and Daniela Cardim X Peter Leung.
Doors open: 18:30
Event run time: 1hr (i.e. 19:00-20:00)

BLOKspace Leyton, 258 Church Rd, London E10 7JQ
Flux Projects is proud to present Choreographies Pt 4 Live, a live dance and performance art event featuring movement works by Hannah Joseph x Elaini Lalousis, Hannah Rudd × Quinta and Will Pegna / ATT. The event will open the art exhibition Choreographies Pt 4, featuring artworks by Anna-Lena Krause, Isabelle Wenzel and Will Pegna.
Ax.One is a duet choreographed by Hannah Joseph, performed by her and Elaini Lalousis with music by Cairo Brown. Separate pathways and separate cognition, feeding into one shared entity. Information fires between sharp minds, as they take turns to cut out a new course. Can this shared force stay equal, or must slices axe one out?
Long-time collaborators Hannah Rudd and Quinta intertwine human experience through music and movement, recently delving into themes of reshaping identity after physical loss. Researching a creative methodology expressing resilience, hope and joy in order to connect with those who have shared similar experiences. For this performance, reuniting after international work, they will surprise each other with shared research ideas, discovering how these come to life through performance.
Equipment ritual and function converting. Will Pegna, leading artist for research-based project series All Terrain Training (ATT) presents a new work: Parasound, the first edition of ATT’s new season of shows proposing substitute applications for modern athletic equipment.
Doors open: 19:30

Apocalypse Pt.2 screening
Date/
19:00-20:00 Fri 8 Dec 2023
Location/
Close-Up Cinema, 97 Sclater St, London E1 6HR
Flux Projects is proud to present Apocalypse: a series of short films by twelve artists working in different creative disciplines (including film, performance art, visual art and dance).
The word ‘apocalypse’ is often assumed to mean the end of the world. However, an apocalypse, stemming from the Greek word apokálypsis (meaning ‘an unveiling’), is in fact a revelation, traditionally mediated by an otherworldly being to a human recipient.
With this in mind, at the start of 2023 Flux invited each of these twelve artists to explore this theme and offer their own revelation. Whether glimpsing into an internal, personal apocalypse or an outer, environmental one, each short film acts as a kind of dream or vision, open to different interpretations, leaving us to consider the end of our realities and possible encounters with spiritual experiences.
This screening, Apocalypse Pt.2, will showcase the second six short films in the series, by: Emma Farnell-Watson x Joe Connor, Max Cookward, Hannah Grennell x Keeran Blessie, Ebun Sodipo, Liam Francis x Dan Löwenstein and Ben Cullen Williams x Wayne McGregor x Royal Ballet.

Harri Eiffert, Lulu Wang & Pett | Clausen-Knight - Choreographies Pt.3 Live

Flux Projects is proud to present Choreographies Pt 3 Live, a live dance and performance art event featuring movement works by Harri Eiffert, Lulu Wang and Pett | Clausen-Knight.
A formless vessel, a body now unbound. Flying in all directions, yet assuming the shape of its container. A framework inevitably changing and forever in motion to avoid stagnation. Harri Eiffert presents the human form as an amalgamation of its past, both remembered and forgotten.
Collecting shards of memories and moments, tracing the echoes within the body's motion. Time and space converge as puzzles piece together, bridging the future to the past - what makes us as we are? Exploring the body as a vessel through movement to compose a sound of dynamic changes, Lulu Wang’s Lulu X presents a voice of embracing the imperfection of our phenomenal human experience.
We are as shifting archives of fleeting imprints, moments of shared existence and past. How would we map these imprints? How would form our sensory being? Exploring the body as transient echoes, Pett | Clausen-Knight unfolds a work of internalisation through a delicate entwining of two beings.
