Performance and Sound Explorations is a one-off event with, for, and about sonic practice and its relationship with spaces, bodies, history and more. Join LICK and invited artists Bill Dietz, Ashley Holmes, Lola de la Mata and Mary Prestidge for a day of peer-led conversations and workshops, and an evening of new and in progress sharings where installation, sculpture, movement and archive are in dialogue with sound making.

Bill Dietz is an American composer, writer, and co-chair of the Bard MFA Music/Sound department. Bill is the co-founder of journal Ear / Wave / Event, and is a board member of the Maryanne Amacher Foundation, responsible for promoting and preserving her compositions and research.

Ashley Holmes is an artist based between Sheffield & Liverpool, UK. His work brings together elements of visual art and music, shaped by research interests around hybrid and collaborative methods of production, publishing and broadcasting.

Lola de la Mata is a London born French/Spanish conceptual sound artist, composer, curator and musician currently based in Liverpool. Tinnitus and aural diversity are at the core of her research practice, inspiring glass, metal, and ceramic musical instruments.

Mary Prestidge has been evolving a dance practice for over 50 years. She performed with Ballet Rambert in the early 1970’s but later gravitated toward an independent context with artists giving space and support to experimentation and research. Mary was a co founder of the radical X6 Dance Space and collective and its successor Chisenhale Dance Space in London in the late 70’s and 80’s.
