The artistic research
Mark and Rémy are in the final stages of redeveloping their performance lecture for its premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe. They will be focusing on continuing to find waste to incorporate call and response between percussion and dance and refining the text and recorded audios incorporated in the performance.
Stepping in… Spilling out: across your parent’s carpet, stepping into the cypher, stepping in solidarity, stepping with strangers in the club.
Collaboration with French percussionist Rémy Gouffault, this work takes a walk along the personal history of Mark's dance practice through the foundational act of stepping; the different people, communities, histories and politics that collide with Mark's body through these movements. Beginning on an oversized drawing of his family home carpet, using movement, conversations, participation and music, Mark and Rémy guide you through layers of landscapes stepping through; parties, protests, rituals, mosh pits and gas clouds.
the artists
During the residency, Mark and Rémy will work with a large body of material they’ve developed over time. They will begin to explore it in a playful way, allowing for the discovery of multiple pathways through the material-finding new ways to respond to and build on each other’s contributions.
Dramaturg: Quim Bigas as dramaturg
Choreographic collaborator and guest performer: Marco Prayer

Mark Bleakley (han/ham)
Working across dance and visual arts Mark's practice is unique to the Scottish performance landscape. Their practice is woven together by two threads; a formal fine art training and their dance practice rooted in social dance in Breakin’ and House dance. Like many Gemini’s, Mark’s practice follows desire and pleasure in many directions at the same time, this has produced a practice that is equally social as it is conceptual, rhythmic as it is sculptural.
Mark's work explores how We handle things; people, objects, how objects handle Us through: environments, architecture, and social structures. Recent projects focus on the power of dance to change and create new places and realities.
Rémy Gouffaulté (han/ham)
RÉMY GOUFFAULT (FR/DK) - er en percussionist fra Toulouse. Rémys praksis går på tværs af mange genrer fra metal, jazzimprovisation til dansemusik. Han er grundlægger af forskellige musikkollektiver, herunder Branches, NINXY og Swimming Pools.
the residency
This WORKSHARING is the culmination of the 2-week IN PRODUCTION residency, where artists have worked in a black box with a simple technical set-up.
IN PRODUCTION is HAUT's 2 or 4 week residency, giving artists the opportunity to work on productions in a studio or black box.
