SUMMARY:Welcome
DESCRIPTION:Welcome is an interactive\, site-responsive performance by Belén Yáñez that invites audiences to reflect on their interactions with people they don’t know in new contexts.\nWearing full-face masks and headphones\, participants are guided through a sound-based narrative that offers a reimagined perspective on their surroundings.\nSet in unconventional locations and facilitated by performers\, Welcome transforms everyday spaces into immersive landscapes\, encouraging participants to engage with their environment and each other in new ways. \nThis is a fully interactive experience. All participants will be required to wear headphones and a full-face mask for the duration of the performance. There is no speaking involved\, but active engagement through movement. \nGreat Yarmouth Beach (2 durational performances)\nSaturday 18th October: 10:00–13:00 & 15:00–18:00 \nCo-commissioned by Counterpoints Arts.
