About\u00a0<\/strong>Virginia<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Virginia<\/p>\n

Virginia Kennard is an explicit body performance\/live artist and movement practitioner from P\u014dneke Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. She has made a range of solo and ensemble performance works, from short performances to durational installations, that are messy, queer, mayhemic, fun, and usually include music by Britney Spears. Virginia’s focus has been to facilitate the telling of stories – hers and others – by building safe spaces to create intimate interdisciplinary performance, that intersect, elucidate, and celebrate feminist and queer paedagogies.<\/p>\n

Virginia is currently an MFA candidate in the Performance department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is currently exploring notions of time as it pertains to billable hours, hyperfocus, constructive rest, and composting. In particular, she is interested in how to become compost, for her mental health but also as a sustainable environmental practice. Virginia is playing in the dirt. Her urban existence in Chicago has left her body dysregulated and so Virginia is figuring out her shit – literally and artistically – as she floats in the compost of life.<\/p>\n

About Overspill<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overspill is a series of in conversation events with interdisciplinary artists working within the creative arts industry. This research series focuses on celebrating the practice of artists who are making important work that also pushes against and explodes beyond the understood boundaries of creative work. Presence and agency will be considered as central themes throughout Overspill and how the artist might use their practice to respond to and\/or challenge ideas around self and identity. Moreover, these events will celebrate the work of artists that might be considered marginalised and indeed works to celebrate diversity, equality, and inclusion in the arts.<\/p>\n

These in conversation events will celebrate the work of artists working within, across, between and beyond the boundaries of artistic disciplines. Focusing on uncovering the many practices, processes and perspectives that the artist or maker might engage in when making creative practice, this series will also consider post pandemic contexts and what shifts in processes and new knowledges this might have uncovered for the creative maker. Moreover, Overspill also welcomes practice-based sharings in any format.<\/p>\n
