THE ASCENSION OF ESTHER. St Saviours Hall, Plymouth 28/11/2019
Responding to the histories, architectures, and found objects within
St Saviours Church Hall, The Ascension of Esther re-presents
and re-imagines art historical images of womxn and womxnhood
via uses
of ‘bodycloth’ in performance art. Built in the 1880s to serve as a Sunday school
to the former Anglican church, St Saviours was re-purposed
by local artist Robert
Lenkiewicz in
the 1990s. Taking a feminist approach,
the artists use Lenkiewicz’ paintings as a
referential starting point from which to
activate and respond.
This performance formed part of Natalie Raven’s doctoral research, conducted at the University of Plymouth in the department of Dance, Theatre, and Performance.
