In 2022, Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels is presenting When we speak I feel myself, Opening, a piece by SERAFINE1369, in collaboration with Sadler's Wells as part of the first Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels Festival in London.
SERAFINE1369 is the London based artist and dancer Jamila Johnson-Small. They work with dancing as a philosophical undertaking, a political project with ethical psycho-spiritual ramifications for being-in-the-world; dancing as intimate technology.
Their work is informed by research into movement and dance as a tool for divination, decoding messages from an oracular body - on personal/structural/symptomatic/somatic/psychic levels - to be processed through the medium of choreography. Their shows are stage/dreamspace/battleground, decompositions, atmospheric landscapes created through the live unfolding of the tensions between things that produce meaning.
