Performance
Leeds Beckett University - City Campus,
Woodhouse Lane,

In her new creation, Cherish Menzo and her onstage partner Camilo Mejía Cortés look for ways to detach their bodies from the way they are perceived and the daily reality in which they move.
They look up to the sky, at dark matter and at black holes that meet and collide to give birth to a new, (afro)futuristic and enigmatic body.
This dance performance incorporates the Chopped and Screwed method – a remix technique from hip-hop music in which the tempo is sharply reduced. By stretching the notions of time, the register changes and the performing body transcends into a different state.
The performance is soundtracked by the Distorted Rap Choir – the voices of local Global Majority people whose voices are altered and warped to bring new meanings to this other-worldly and futuristic experience.
