- **Event Description**: Get ready for 'Reverberance' on 28 February, the third chapter of our performance series 'Living, Rehearsing...'.About this Event1pm–7pm, 28 FebruaryFree admission, limited capacity, booking essentialYou can enter at any time during the booked time slot and are wleocme to spend as much time as you like.Inspired by the rhythmic patterns of chant, echoes and songs, Chapter 3 of Living, Rehearsing… explores how reverberance conjures kinship with one another, our ancestors, more-than-human life and the spiritual realms beyond. Reverberance features Aliaskar Abarkas,Yingmei Duan, Li Yilei, Joshua Serafin with Pierre Bayet (aka Fake Moss) and Gorkem Sen, Sriwhana Spong, Swilipino and Yan Jun.This six-hour performance event brings together various acts of telling, remixing and co-creating memory and story, tracing personal, collective, material and symbolic journeys. The artists explore the acoustics of YDP through a series of actions and invocations, including passing beads as a physical score, embodying lost ancestral connections, adapting the building to the rhythm of a living clock, tracing feedback loops and summoning the memory of silver eels.Attuning ourselves to this dynamic soundscape, we enter a state of deep attentiveness. Moving beyond passive listening, the gathering asks how we might actively generate our own energising transmissions and releases. This process both channels connections to other dimensions and grounds us in the present, evoking belonging and rituals of remembrance, re-routing human and non-human relations and mapping resonances to guide us through upheaval and change, wherever we may be.ScheduleRoom 113:00–19:00 Yingmei DuanConservatory13:00–19:00 Li YileiArtist’s Lab13:00–19:00 SwilipinoRoom 3 &amp; Room 413:30–14:15 Aliaskar Abarkas15:00–15:30 Sriwhana Spong16:15–17:00 Yan Jun18:00–18:40 Joshua Serafin with Pierre Bayet (aka Fake Moss) and Gorkem SenAbout Living, Rehearsing…An evolving, genre-bending performance programme taking place throughout the building, Living, Rehearsing… is conceived as a collaborative framework to test the possibilities of what YDP can be home to and how we might collectively reflect on the concept of rehearsal as a strategy for organising, reconfiguring and reimagining our lives as we venture into the unknown each day. Over the course of three months, the programme will invite an ensemble of artists from the fields of visual art, performance art, stand-up comedy, dance and sound to convene across four day-to-night events, where improvisation meets choreography. Each participant will offer an interpretation on the concept of ‘rehearsal’ and what it may mean to them, drawing on experiences of migration, contingency, navigating thresholds and channelling collective energies. The gatherings will also test a range of prompts and constraints set to explore different ways for audiences to explore the spaces around each performance, from simultaneous actions across multiple rooms, to moving through the building and experiencing collective resonances.After the performances, elements of their gestures, sound and images will be remixed into installations and spatial interventions that will remain on view in YDP’s space.Guest-curated by Zhuo Mengting, in collaboration with YDP curators Erin Li and Billy Tang.Chapter 3: ReverberancePerformance programme1–7pm, 28 FebruaryJoshua Serafin with Pierre Bayet (aka Fake Moss) and Gorkem SenRelics: An Eye Once Blind began with an exploration of the artist’s family history, tracing it back to their great-great-grandfather, Sentaro Esaki, a Japanese migrant worker who arrived in the Philippines in 1909. From this point, the artist delves into forgotten narratives and traces the erasure of an identity bound to an imaginary warrior lineage.Debuting in the UK, an excerpt of the work at YDP marks the first collaboration between Serafin, multi-instrumentalist Gorkem Sen, and sound designer Pierre Bayet (aka Fake Moss), who come together to create an expanded sonic experience. This work was first commissioned by the Rockbund Art Museum for the Wan Hai Hotel, with further development of the work supported by Waking Life (Portugal), HORST Music &amp; Arts Festival (Belgium), KAPUT Manila and ART SG Singapore.Aliaskar Abarkas‘Bring your poems, your voice and your prayers – to read, sing and make sounds together.’— Aliaskar AbarkasThis participatory performance centres on an eight-metre-long chain of beads, crafted by the artist to serve as a physical score for a collective soundscape. Participants hold the beads, made from a range of everyday materials, and interpret them through touch, rhythm, voice and sonification, generating a shared, circular composition that unfolds in real time. The work explores alternative systems of notation, following how sound moves through people. Collective listening and attunement shape the experience, blending sense and nonsense, body, poetry and light.Li YileiNot Yet Still (Runaway Self-Referential Loop) is a newly commissioned installation and performance exploring how ritual shapes attention and alters perception. For the six-hours of the programme, Li will occupy YDP’s Conservatory, positioning her work as a living clock that measures time through vibration, repetition and continuous movement.Visitors may enter and leave at any moment, much like glancing at a clock in a room or noticing one’s own breath. The sensation of duration subtly unsettles the certainty of time moving forward. Time becomes not something that passes, but something that is actively occupied.Yingmei DuanDuan’s six-hour performance is a form of continuous dialogue between the artist and the audience, using puppetry and other objects, drawing, video, sound, music and light as interconnected mediums. In response to the theme of Reverberance, past, present and future realities resonate with dreamscapes the artist conjures onsite. Following the logic of a rehearsal, the work has no fixed beginning or end. It continues to be reworked, emerging and transforming over time. As audiences engage with the artist, they bring their own experiences into the process, becoming part of a shared journey.SwilipinoSwilipino has offered a culinary thread woven throughout the events of Living, Rehearsing… over the course of the programme. Marking their third participation, Swilipino presents their version of a kamayan – a Filipino communal feast in which food is laid out on banana leaves and eaten by hand. A pre-colonial tradition, the Tagalog term kamayan derives from kamay (hand), carrying associations of collectivity, place and shared action, and is often the beating heart of birthdays, holidays, gatherings and fiestas.Yan Jun‘Every room creates specific conditions for potential resonances, waves and reflections. Through feedback, these phenomena can be revealed and observed. If we understand language as a recordable and translatable signal, it becomes possible to generate a real-time, site-specific feedback event — one that activates new kinds of signals before we can fully comprehend them.’— Yan JunThe musician and poet Yan Jun presents a performance of resonances, feedback loops and transmissions that move between signal and noise, in collaboration with an ensemble of participants who blend into the audience and space. Encouraging a fluid encounter between conductor, performer and environment, cues and responses gradually start to reveal themselves. The result is an atmosphere of collective attentiveness, where physical reactions, absurdist movements and non-verbal communication flow freely together.Sriwhana Spong with Milo McKinnon‘Blabryng fleschely tonge’. Repeat this phrase as it was originally written by an anonymous fourteenth-century contemplative, in The Cloud of Unknowing: ‘blabryng fleschely tonge, blabryng fleschely tonge, blabryng fleschely tonge’. Feel how the words accentuate the fleshy muscle of the tongue and how saliva accumulates, adding a sloshy wetness. Feel how the tongue slips awkwardly around the words, each letter sharp and straight like a bit in a horse’s mouth. Feel how your tongue moves like an eel in water. In 2019 and 2020, trackers placed on twenty-six European eels confirmed that the spawning place they instinctively returned to was somewhere in the spinning gyre of the Sargasso Sea. Its precise location, however, remains unknown. Blabryng fleschely tonge tracks the journeys of these silver eels, building a spiral of coordinates of knowledge that progresses by degrees without ever coinciding with its object. Along the way, resonances with a fourteenth-century meditation manual, in which animal consciousness is offered as an exemplar of the ability to experience not only what one is but that one is, swell, gather and recede.About the ArtistsAliaskar Abarkas (b. 1994, Esfahan) is an Iranian artist based in London. His practice is rooted in alternative and communal art education and he stages choreographic encounters that move from individual elements into collective expression. Often in dialogue with historical sources, Abarkas builds collaborative frameworks that invite participants to interpret and activate inherited scores through music, exhibition and performance.He is an associate artist at Sadler’s Wells / Rose Choreographic School and lead artist at Autograph Gallery (London). His work has been presented at institutions including the Barbican Centre, ICA, The Mosaic Rooms, LUX and CIRCA (London), Arts Catalyst (Sheffield), CAPC (Bordeaux), LOCALES (Rome) and Scuola Piccola Zattere (Venice).Yingmei Duan (b. 1969, Daqing), a member of the Chinese avant-garde, lived in the legendary East Village in Beijing in the 1990s. After encountering Marina Abramović, she has, for the past twenty-five years, devoted her energy and creativity to performance art and to researching the medium itself and she has realised over 100 collaborative performance projects with people of different cultures and age groups. In her interactive solo and collaborative performances, she combines painting, video, sound and installation art. Duan has developed her own performance system, including Solo Performance, Performance Installation, Changing Exhibition, Daily Live Art Performance, Equal Collaborative Performance, Object and Video Interactive Performance and Sound &amp; Music Performance.Li Yilei (b. 1996) is a London-based artist and composer whose work moves through tacit listening, perceptual thresholds and the quiet tensions between presence and disappearance. Guided by a subtly mystic approach to sensing, Li treats sound as a porous field of attunement shaped by intuition, resonance and the barely perceptible. Their practice spans performance, composition and installation, attending to silence, absence and non-verbal states as active agents. Using instruments, objects, recordings and self-built or found materials, Li creates restrained, drifting sonic environments where attention deepens and sound becomes a mode of embodied perception.Joshua Serafin (b. 1995, Bacolod) is a multidisciplinary artist who combines dance, performance, visual arts and choreography. Born in the Philippines, they are currently based in Brussels. They trained in dance in the Philippines, Hong Kong and PARTS in Brussels and have a bachelor’s and master’s in fine arts from KASK in Ghent. They are a house artist at Viernulvier for the 2023–27 seasons. Their works deal with questions about identity, transmigration, queer politics and representation, states of being and ways of inhabiting the body. Their cosmology of works creates new forms of rituals, and embodiment, based on queer ecologies. Serafin’s work as a maker, performer, and dancer have been recently internationally acclaimed as they actively show and tour their work across the contemporary art scenes of Europe and in festivals in East Asia. Whether performing on stage, inside the museum, or through video and photography, Serafin’s artistic process is an intense sociological exorcism of Filipino identity with hybridity of the western ideologies; unpacking the historical violence of its feudal contemporary society and its dehumanising normality.Sriwhana Spong (b. 1979, Tāmaki Makaurau) lives in London. Her work explores modalities of following (how to approach a subject) and framing (how to understand it). Different bodies of work are sparked by an encounter – a rat nesting outside her bedroom window; a newly discovered species of snake; a painting by her grandfather, the Balinese painter, I Gusi Made Rundu – whose traces are followed through different processes of (un)knowing to allow for a changeable perspective that critically examines her own particular and situated position and how this might contribute to a collective, collaborative and feminist objectivity or understanding of an entangled cosmos. Stopped in her tracks by these encounters, which she then circumambulates, her practice traces a nonlinear course through films, sculptures and performances to open up reorientations to notions of time and human and non-human life.Swilipino is a creative identity and food project initiated in 2018 by Tintin Jonsson, a photographer-turned-chef seeking a new creative outlet and a deeper connection to her dual heritage. Through her Swedish-Filipino lens, Jonsson cooks Filipino-inspired dishes that reflect both personal memory and cultural exploration. Drawing from the rich, multicultural foodways of Mindanao, where her mother is from, Jonsson blends traditional Filipino flavours with touches of Swedish nostalgia, creating what she playfully refers to as ‘Frankenfood’, food that sits joyfully between worlds.Yan Jun (b. 1973, Lanzhou) is a musician and poet based in Beijing. He works with body, feedback, field recording, voice, concepts and situations. Sometimes he goes to audience’s members’ homes playing a plastic bag. ‘I wish I was a piece of field recording.’
