About DIG 2025: Emilyn Claid - The Trembling Forest: A Live Art Ballet (UK)
Created by emilyn claid, in collaboration with Martin O’Brien, The Trembling Forest draws on the spontaneous physicality of live art practices together with the scenic, choreographic structures of balletic traditions.
Encounters between this company are staged amidst a forest of queer people, each painted with clay, who crack, shiver, tremble and decay. The Trembling Forest evokes a macabre, surreal, grotesque and beautiful world, where life force and death drive intertwine.
'Turn your face towards the tombstone blues of left over time, forever, nowhere, nothing time, the crumbling perpetual of graveyards and ashes. Step lightly into long time, still time. Turn up the music and begin a slow dance. Welcome the pale grey, the shivering grey of a longed-for landscape, cold, silent, beautiful, like snow on hills under a darkening sky. Connect with me here, embrace me there, enmeshed, in a dance of twists and turns, like the underground roots of a trembling forest.'
The Trembling Forest features performers including Martin O’Brien, Azara, Orrow Bell, Adrienne Ming, and Eve Stainton as well as a cast of 20 participants local to Glasgow.
Recommended for ages 12+
