Trust Exercises at ABSINTHE §3 – The Bar Fight

Collective Ending @ Spit & Sawdust

21 Bartholomew Street, London SE1 4AL, UK

Saturday 19 October, 12pm–3pm

Nina Davies, Both Performers Begin Standing on Opposite Corners of the Room (2018)

In ‘The Bar Fight’ Nina Davies; choreographer & artist, invites participants to learn the art of stunt fighting. The workshop’s exercise focuses around exploring the tropes of bar brawls as well as dramatised combat. Workshop attendees will develop key skills in trust by learning the basics of stunt performance, with a partner and then collaboratively within the group. The group are then invited to perform the fight within the Spit & Sawdust’s evening hours. Its success relies on the engagement of the attendees, who move from being the audience, to the performer, to the work itself.

‘The Bar Fight’ is designed for Trust Exercises, a series of workshops by independent curator Georgia Stephenson, as invited by curatorial collective ‘Collective Ending’, within the wider programme of ABSINTHE at the Spit & Sawdust Pub.
