Golden (Lessons)
susan pui san lok

a Beaconsfield Research project

18 October – 10 November 2006
Wednesday – Friday 12-6pm

Ballroom and song are recurring motifs in Golden (Lessons), a research residency that expands on susan pui san lok’s ongoing project, Golden, exploring themes of nostalgia, cultivation and aspiration in diaspora.

Unfolding over four weeks, Lessons is structured within Beaconsfield’s long-established live residency tradition, punctuated by a series of on- and off-site events and interventions. Visitors are invited to participate as students and performers of song and dance: as part of an impromptu chorus led by composer Mat Davidson, or improvised ‘lessons’ led by dancer/choreographers Jenevieve Chang and Annie Pui Ling Lok. Enthusiasts are welcome to join the ‘Mobile Chorus’ and Mobile Ballroom’, experiments in nostalgia and engineered spontaneity, that take inspiration from the ‘mobile clubbing’ phenomenon and the idea of the ‘spontaneous musical number’. Previous work from the Golden series will be exhibited and a new work - Golden Hour - developed for broadcast on Resonance 104.4fm as the residency draws to a close.

Closing Events Friday 10 November 4.19 – 8pm
4.19pm Mobile Ballroom dress up, show up and make the world your ballroom (location TBA)
5pm Ballroom Lesson strictly DIY instruction improvised by Jenevieve Chang
6pm e-book Launch and Golden Hour limited edition and broadcast
More Melodies for Dancing and Dreaming…

Lessons will be accompanied and documented by an e-book made available as both unlimited download and limited Beaconsfield/spsl edition. Beaconsfield Research assists artists in developing their ideas, offering a public platform for work in progress.

Beaconsfield is financially supported by Arts Council England.
Golden (Lessons) has been made possible with funds to the artist from AHRC and Middlesex University.
