INCHOATE BUZZ (2019- )
A Wild Card at Sadler’s Wells curated by Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome
Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome curates two special evenings as part of Sadler’s Wells popular Wild Card series, a format inviting a new generation of artists to curate their own night. Interested in shifts of perspectives, Muñoz-Newsome’s practice crafts queer spaces promoting exploration and agency.
Muñoz-Newsome’s evening is an invitation to interact with INCHOATE BUZZ, a new immersive work. Created with visual artist India Harvey and sound artist Josh Anio Grigg, it offers an environment to explore, inviting us into a sensorial journey in a relaxed set of soft objects, projections and suspended sculpture. Intimacy, proximity and distance are all at play. The work is sensual, and invites the audience on a journey which shifts away from the primacy of the visual.
For this version of INCHOATE BUZZ, several guest artists perform their own works within its environment: dance artists Last Yearz Interesting Negro (Jamila Johnson-Small), Rukeya, Eve Stainton, and musicians Kiera Coward Deyell (Black Obsidian Sound System) and Isabel Muñoz-Newsome (Pumarosa).
The development of INCHOATE BUZZ was supported by a DanceXchange Choreography Award, a Jerwood New Work Fund grant from Jerwood Arts and though public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England
