ABOUT IN THE FLESH
IN THE FLESH is a platform for independent artists creating experimental dance, theater and multi-media performance work. A five month-long performance series will feature one new artist presented monthly at the music venue Arkham. IN THE FLESH addresses the issue of space available for staging performance-based work in Shanghai, and attempts to act as a bridge between independent artists and spaces to present their work by creating intangible ‘theaters’ within alternative spaces.
As Shanghai is a city with limited incubators available to emerging performance artists, this series is an opportunity to stage work that may not otherwise get shown. By offering a platform to present in, the involved artists are given a chance to gain recognition for their work, while simultaneously inspiring local audiences and thereby generating a larger yet local community for performative art forms.
Each month, a new selected artist will bring an original work to their alternative stage at Arkham. You can experience this alternative theater setting for an evening length’s performance a Thursday of every month.
