1830EST: Artists Talk
Intimate Conversations with Artists about Art
​
1830EST: Artists Talk offers an online forum to explore art-making practices through the lens of working artists and their creativity. Each episode assembles multiple viewpoints and includes interviews, field recordings, soundscapes and stories representing the diverse creative practitioners within the Core Dance global landscape.
1830EST: Artists Talk was initiated in 2021 to cultivate community in response to the pandemic, when live experiences were not possible. The ongoing pandemic disrupted the rhythms of everyday life, prompting us to reconfigure how we connect, communicate, and work together.
​
Our 1830EST: Artists Talk Livestream will always be found here.

Lucy Suggate & Charlie Ford
The work consists of performers from all disciplines working to construct paper stones. A surreal production line that explores the transferable properties of stone and examines how we might begin to move with petrification, heaviness and tenderness, through their (paper)stone making our attention is drawn towards expansive states of awareness, it’s a strange practice of reverse extraction, possibly and a small acknowledgement of the utterly unfathomable.
During 2022 choregrapher Lucy Suggate and visual artist Charlie Ford began collaborating during a residency at Wainsgate Dances, the residency brought together Charlie’s drawing practice into orbit with Lucy’s dance research- over time these parallel encounters evolved into Tender Stones.
