Thanet, Dover, Folkestone

Kent based dance artists Sidonie Carey Green and Tom Tegento are excited to announce the successful funding of its participatory performance project The Body As Data, working with local communities and artists to explore personal narratives and experience of borders.

Through a series of creative movement workshops, site specific walking events, and filming using surveillance technologies, a film will be created exploring how the ‘body-as-data’ can draw its own border by re-imagining the potential of drone technology and the power of walking practice. This project will connect local communities who have experienced forced migration and we will come together to mobilise the border of the Kent coast from Margate to Folkestone.

The Body as Data workshops and walks are set to begin on Saturday 1st June in Margate and will run through to Sunday 30th June in Folkestone. Attendees are invited to join by the location they live at, and are very welcome to join the locations at Margate and Folkestone.
