Choreographic Devices V

Friday, August 7, 2026
3-8PM

Since 2022, and against the pressured backdrops of permacrisis and depletion, Choreographic Devices has been testing how bodies, material assemblages, organisational forms and modes of being alongside one another might be choreographed otherwise. Drawing on a broad ecology of practices and bringing together key local and international practitioners, the platform understands choreographic inquiry as extending beyond the event itself into its organisational architectures. Its modular and scalable format moves fluidly between integrated multi-day programmes, screenings, discursive exchanges, workshops and performative gatherings.

For its fifth iteration at Mimosa House, Choreographic Devices presents a moving-image programme exploring the choreographic as an expanded methodology for organising relations across bodies, images, perception and time. Selected by friends and allies of Choreographic Devices, the assembled works approach moving image as a site of choreographic inquiry, inviting new ways of sensing, composing and orienting perception across cinematic and choreographic registers.

 This iteration features selections and contributions by Murat Adash, Funmi Adewole Eliott, Daniel Blanga Gubbay, Ofri Cnaani, Nicola Conibere, Theo Jean Cuthand, Claire Denis, Marie de Brugerolle, Future of Dance, Linus Gratte, Martin Hargreaves, Jack Hogan, Mica Levi, Ligia Lewis, Fabrice Mazliah, Sara Sassanelli, Edgar Schmitz, Esther Sadiqquie, P. Staff, Kostas Stasinopoulos, Tabitha Thorlu-Bangura, Sehr Jalil, Nitsan Margaliot, Mariana Broztowski, Jessie Kleemann, Vlatka Horvatand Anna Wittenberg.

Choreographic Devices is convened by Murat Adash, Ofri Cnaani, Sara Sassanelli and Edgar Schmitz, and produced by Sara Sassanelli (Alice Agency), with technical support by Jack Hogan.

This event is free, but booking is required. A programming schedule, including screening times for each film, will be released closer to the event. BOOK TICKETS HERE
