GRAFTING Space Grants
In botany grafting is a horticultural practice in which a branch or bud of one plant is attached to the stem or a root of another plant so that a union is formed and the partners continue to grow.
This October, we have invited three dance artists/teams to spend a week in the Drill Hall with an artist from a different art discipline such as poetry, film, or music and explore what fertile opportunities these grafting processes create and how each is enriched through the collaboration.
They are: Allie Graham & Strickland Young with composer Joseph Franklin; David Huggins with poet Faye Jarrett; Olivia Hadley & Romain Hassanin with videographer Johnas Liu.
