Moray Art Centre is thrilled to announce our collaboration with Dance North as part of their RISE Festival ‘2024. Join us as we welcome the extraordinary Laura Fisher and FORGED (in the tender heat of your embrace) to our venue. Get ready for an unforgettable fusion of artistry and expression right here at Moray Art Centre.

FORGED (in the tender heat of your embrace) is a durational performance installation for galleries and non-traditional performance spaces. In an intimate, choreographic collaboration between the artist’s body and sheets of copper metal, FORGED (in the tender heat of your embrace) explores processes of body heat generation and exchange during movement and rest.

Through cycles of moving and resting together, a physical collaboration develops in which a disabled body and metal support enable each other’s movement; bending, heating, cooling, resting, and imprinting on one another over time. Through this process, sculptural forms gradually emerge, holding on their surface marks of the physical exchange which has occurred.

This captivating show will feature a day of mesmerising performances by Laura on Saturday, May 25th, along with an installation that will be showcased throughout the entire duration of the event.
