<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Inspired by the fascinating life of Emma Hamilton and her performances
of 'Attitudes'; <b>Lenka Horakova</b> and <b>Anna Kompaniets</b> of Akleriah, in

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Mixing contemporary and traditional devices, audience will be taken on a
journey into the world of a person whom, 'once-upon-a-time', was the
most famous woman from England. Though she bore the only child of
England's ninth most popular figure of all time, Admiral Nelson, she was
a remarkable and historic person in her own right: a trendsetter, a
fashion icon, artists' muse, a celebrity loved and admired by the men
and women of Europe; the amazing and tragic Lady Emma Hamilton.</span> </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Intrigued by Emma's rise from poverty to fame and her ultimate fall,
the piece looks at the relevance of 'Attitudes' today. Through symbolism
and iconography, questions are raised about the fragility of her
character, the significance men have played in her life, as well as her
innermost feelings, seeking to draw parallels to women today.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

eclectic combination of dancers, musicians, singers and performers. Dressed in custom-made costumes of extraordinary opulence, the performance
reflects upon the two Queens of the House and their legacy on the world.
Akleriah is an eco-friendly duo and their costumes incorporate the
experimental use of traditional hand crafts and the upcycled waste<span style="font-size: medium;"> (<span style="font-size: medium;">mostly</span> plastic carrie<span style="font-size: medium;">r </span>bags)</span> of

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>'Quedenraha' challenges the
perception of the space as well as of the human body.
'Body' is often referred to in botanical terms and especially in
relation to women. The clothes and make up of the female and male have

<span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Akleriah 'SCARSINERIAH' explore the notion of 'Empty Body', a body without the
flesh, a body that consists of materialised emotions, desires and scars. </span></span></span></h3>
<span itemprop="description"><span class="fsl"><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #274e13;">Inspired by <b>Anya Charikov-Mickleburgh's paintings</b>, Akleriah
question the consumption of the body and its contamination and
tragedies. What is actually hidden beneath our outer facade, and when do
we become full and our true self materialises? <b>Th<span class="text_exposed_show">e
performative installation can be experienced throughout the 2-hours Private View – the 'Second Skin' will then be shed and left at the
exhibition space.</span></b></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><span class="reader"><span itemprop="description">
The work is a psychoanalytical and critical exploration of Desire and
the factors driving it from within: longing and obsession, needs and
demands, appetite and taste, pleasure and disgust. Anya has extracted
eating, a vital human activity, and projected it as a metaphor for all
forms of consumption. "My idea highlights how the actual realisation of
Desire does not consist of it being fulfilled". Her paintings in oil
leave the audience with the assumption of how we as society inhabit the
present, how we eat into culture, eat into commodities, eat into
ourselves; while the question "what is eating us now?" remains open.</span></span></span></span><br />

When women wear tights or stockings, how do they view themselves?
How does it make them feel and how are they perceived? Do tights and
stockings dictate how society is formed?

Russian women wear tights in Moscow as ‘it’s seen as trashy not to
wear tights’ whereas in Gambia ‘some girls would wear fishnets - people
would look at them badly thinking they are call girls’ When a Gambian
woman meets a Russian woman in Catford, South London, how do they
perceive each other?

Re-imagining Ladies Tights is a live conceptual art performance
experience that examines the role of tights and stocking in our society.
Commissioned by Lewisham Council, with support from Arts Council
England, art-duo Akleriah will be collecting broken tights and stockings
from across the London Borough of Lewisham, supported by Platform-7, to
ask why such easily disposable attire carries so much kudos.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
Part of Lewisham Council’s drive to encourage more textile recycling,
this 6 week intervention in Catford will ask women to consider the
wider issues and their relationship with tights and stockings. It will
examine the politics that surrounds an item that appears to be essential
apparel and discuss how women use tights and stockings beyond a fashion
accessory while men often distinguish alternative views.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
In series of female-only gatherings at ‘age UK’s’ Catford Broadway
shop, the performance experience will generate stories and thoughts on
the attire that has shaped female body image for over four generations.
By publically displaying these stories on the walls of the old Catford
Civic Centre, the project looks to unveil how women distinguish
themselves and how men identify with tights and stockings.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
The event begins with our collection from specially handmade recycled
bags for recycling tights hanging in locations across Lewisham,
including Lesoco (formally Lewisham College), Goldsmiths, age UK,
Lewisham / Catford town centres. Full details on the blog and details
on how to order a recycle bag for a specific location.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
A public wash performance will take place on 21st May in Catford
Broadway before the tights are cut into yarn on 6th June to create
something completely re-imagined. Women over 18 from any background can
become involved in this FREE unique explorative event and asked to
donate an item to age UK to be sold in the shop or purchase an item to
support the work of this important local charity.
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #4c1130;">
For Akleriah, the event allows them to investigate “the image, gender
politics, social and material value of women’s tights. By working with
women volunteers in Catford and their personal tights’ stories, it is
envisaged that a more significant social meaning, which discarded tights
carry, and make their recycling problematic and challenging, will be
addressed”.

Councillor Susan Wise, Cabinet Member for Customer Services, said:
“This is a really interesting idea and I hope it will help women reflect
on some of the many social expectations placed on them. Of course,
there’s also a very practical element to this installation and
performance. We want women to recycle their old tights and stockings by
putting them in the textile bring banks across the borough.”

<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="font-size: large;">This opportunity allow us to explore the image, gender politics, social and
material value of women’s tights. By working with women volunteer in
Catford and their personal tights’ stories, it is envisaged that a more
significant social meaning, which discarded tights carry, and make their
recycling problematic and challenging, will be addressed. </span></span><br />

They are incredibly talented and visionary and their collaborative approach to help others in the process is something that drew me to them from Year one and made me decide to nominate them as Debut Contemporary's first official Ambassadors in February 2011. Our ethos and mission to help ambitious and talent artists to become more successful by professionally developing them and assisting them to be in control of their own carriers and their own success is in line with Akleriah's. Equally the Russian art community is full of amazing talent, some of whom we've successfully been working with in the past 12 months and this Festival is a great platform for that talent to shine and get a well deserved exposure and critical acclaim."</span> Samir Ceric, Founder & Managing Director of Debut Contemporary, Notting Hill, London</span><br /></span></div><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">!!!HAPPY PANCAKING TO EVERYBODY FROM AKLERIAH!!!</span></span><br /></span></span>Akleriahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17049233426814126525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879296198181262273.post-46654942692418773482011-04-18T00:58:00.000-07:002011-04-18T01:08:30.916-07:00Akleriah in the Independent<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVTr3LJAMU9scgVeWbVnCbSu26FDoL3DwN093XbgXwew11FRITOs5N8fIqgtrTOkaOZNMEVzpA8uWWkNa0VgFblwxsc0OjLwymVF8Rw_eBbMiezkHhjl2diSygjlxJha-WPG58Ga901yWK/s1600/IMG_7410%255B1%255D.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVTr3LJAMU9scgVeWbVnCbSu26FDoL3DwN093XbgXwew11FRITOs5N8fIqgtrTOkaOZNMEVzpA8uWWkNa0VgFblwxsc0OjLwymVF8Rw_eBbMiezkHhjl2diSygjlxJha-WPG58Ga901yWK/s400/IMG_7410%255B1%255D.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596831789233512546" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim-1nz5Vqq8yPjecRt3L5y1ugQjXUDjKSaQzau1lfyo4OXR45YRYMHpch0L9lQJBBQ9ShlaVwfccdfjyyde9xd30FdCowDX5B4m7raFtznTC7-2xPp6bIwwoQXV4ubQ7EGlX9Z41zLpGnT/s1600/IMG_7408%255B1%255D.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim-1nz5Vqq8yPjecRt3L5y1ugQjXUDjKSaQzau1lfyo4OXR45YRYMHpch0L9lQJBBQ9ShlaVwfccdfjyyde9xd30FdCowDX5B4m7raFtznTC7-2xPp6bIwwoQXV4ubQ7EGlX9Z41zLpGnT/s400/IMG_7408%255B1%255D.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596831785305267122" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQOw5YGLeddg_WkMI1PY-xB78xkPcVOKOD9d4Iau1l7Q_BUqF1rgDzY8_9ZqDX0talDztR1inNOtC2ro54mdYlwZkyBcwou0gJsyrGEZsTWg3rc-6nWF-CULQRYYDpNY_WErgwdrwi05Lf/s1600/IMG_7419%255B1%255D.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQOw5YGLeddg_WkMI1PY-xB78xkPcVOKOD9d4Iau1l7Q_BUqF1rgDzY8_9ZqDX0talDztR1inNOtC2ro54mdYlwZkyBcwou0gJsyrGEZsTWg3rc-6nWF-CULQRYYDpNY_WErgwdrwi05Lf/s400/IMG_7419%255B1%255D.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596831777714853362" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuaAm-EhPlZAhpW6RVzBHp6MNxLKUhoTS-LC1tDZo7WyaXSSLnvNh6MWy394fELCXSk2IzBJR9Ru8aKHqAEoZyDonvB4Zx2E6p1S2RYDibz9POZp36_kCWYRdxB6cIuLwIKLVk7qKRQrr2/s1600/IMG_7414%255B1%255D.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuaAm-EhPlZAhpW6RVzBHp6MNxLKUhoTS-LC1tDZo7WyaXSSLnvNh6MWy394fELCXSk2IzBJR9Ru8aKHqAEoZyDonvB4Zx2E6p1S2RYDibz9POZp36_kCWYRdxB6cIuLwIKLVk7qKRQrr2/s400/IMG_7414%255B1%255D.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5596831774382918658" /></a><br />Akleriah took part in exciting online project Think Work Play<div><a href="http://think-work-play.com/think-akleriah/">http://think-work-play.com/think-akleriah/</a> which looks at the process of making as well as the final outcome.

We sung 'Fly me to the Moon' far too many times, as well as a favourite's selection from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 'Cats ' and 'Phantom of the Opera'. We had a glorious time among family and friends in the snowy Woodford village of Northamptonshire. Not many bunnies, (or people alike) we went to see the dead at the local graveyard to make them feel less alone at Christmas. Alla and Anton did some amazing cooking while we tried (successfully) to dress up Jason. We send you our bestest wishes for the coming year and hope to see you soon at one of our upcoming performances.<br />Photographs by Jason Wen<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-GiUoeVwejNhoiLt1581Dxb7Kelxwh-9aXPP6UFdHdSKgPc1UZbAQxzqJHxRVZYWp_NraS30LJF7n-qfplLQT1Zlp8O9nXjmCNR51Xz5tVPlRCiLkelLWH7TqXVS2HaOVZh1fTsQrFCx-/s1600/167047_10150105237067359_726042358_7524437_3770937_n.jpg"><img style="float: right;

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 18.0pt;">By Pamela Yau <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">On the lazy Sunday afternoon of May 23rd, as London welcomed the opening of the East London Line, an extension of the London Overground connecting Croydon to Hackney, a colorful collective of performance artists, musicians, and dancers known as Akleriah waited to board at New Cross Station on the edge of Goldsmiths College’s campus.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">Led by two Goldsmiths College art students Anna Kompaniets and Lenka Horakovas, Akleriah is a motley crew of multi-talented and slightly off the wall performers that aimed to excite all the senses of their unsuspecting audience in one fell swoop, with inspired music, original poetry, contemporary dance, and quirky couture costumes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">As the story goes, on the 31<sup>st</sup> of March 2010, while their friend Ryanai (Ryan Murray) was abducted by aliens, an alien known as Cogle appeared to Ankariah (Anna) and Lenkariah (Lenka) reciting poetry about the reunion of aliens and earthlings. Ryanai was later returned to his friends, bringing with him poetry that would be recited in celebration of the reunion on the 23<sup>rd</sup> of May, the opening day of the new East London Line. The opening is symbolic of new connections being made by the East London Line, as it literally connects parts of London for the first time that had never been connected before, making it easier for denizens to move about and to ultimately connect with one another as the aliens and humans had in Cogle’s story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">To translate this elaborate storyline to what happened on the day, Anna and Lenka gathered their collective together to come up with a collaborative piece entitled <i>Coglenet</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";"> that would incorporate performance artists as well as musicians and dancers. The musicians included two guitarists, a classical violinist, and an African drummer, came together to compose original pieces specifically for this performance as dancer Omari Carter interpreted the incidental music through improvisation and contemporary dance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In a corresponding act, the artists recited poems by a local poet, the poems themselves were intertwined and were meant to be recited together in turn for the full effect. They would then take this act to the stations and train carriages of the East London Line. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">Passengers would probably notice when they gets on the new London Overground trains that the new carriages are slightly wider and that passengers can walk from one end of the train to the other without obstruction. As beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to Akleriah, this continuous aisle becomes stage that needs to be filled with their art. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">Now imagine as a passenger getting on a train carriage and being greeted or rather bombarded by an all encompassing experience of fashion, music, dance, and titillating all the senses, the sight, sound, touch, and even smell of the perfume of the performers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">Their performance took Akleriah from New Cross Station to West Croydon, during which they performed on the train as well as at both stations to the wonder of commuters and passersby. As the band played, Omari Carter danced with fluid and imaginative movements and would later demonstrate an ingenious use of the space of the train cars, utilizing the many surfaces of the carriage, along with the handholds and poles of the carriage, at times suspending himself upside down during the routine and continuing to dance in that position. An all-female contingent dressed to the nines recited poetry up and down the aisles, as the musicians stuck together at one end of the train. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">During the day, Akleriah was also able to make their way to the other end of the East London Line to Shoreditch High Street Station, where they commanded the main foyer of the station and continued their act before boarding the train again for New Cross. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">Unsuspecting passengers quickly came to embrace the performance as many pulled out their mobiles and IPhones to record the action. Some of the most enthusiastic<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>viewers were families<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with their children, who gravitated towards and performers as if they had fallen<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>under a spell.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Akleriah was able to radiate an infectious sense of wonder throughout their performance that they projected to their audience, bringing people together through their enjoyment of the show. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ";">The collective projected a “carpe diem”, seize the day, attitude to the travelers of the East London Line, as Akleriah was able to show a train ride can be anything but ordinary. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

We met up with Clodagh, Bettina and Jaime at Prince Albert - a local shabby chic styled venue with a surprisingly interesting decor. We talked collaborating, hopefully in July, with Jaime and Bettina, random nonsence and the recently deceased Alexander McQueen. We had a lovely time at Anna's house drinking cherry cocktails followed by a slightly hangover morning and lunch with Clodagh. Anna decided to starve diet yet again but did not succeed instead opting to do the famous 'cake diet' that keeps her in shape so well. <div><br />We blew bubbles day and night (literally) outside and inside, on the streets, on the stations, in shopping centres... Everywhere! It's really fun! Later on in the week we acquired some really large bubble sword things which were even more entertaining..<div><br />We went to see Omari an amazing break dancer who has also been trained in classical ballet at the Young Actors Theatre,we are hoping that he will perform at our next event. Our gorgeous Nino was playing at Shunt this weekend, what I think they call 'jam' in musician language. We went to see him and Nahum play. There we met the sweetest David and had a scrumptious time meeting some great people, some of whom we hope to work with in the future. And of course there were bubbles!<br />On Saturday we carried furniture for Anna's degree show - Lenka carried 3 chairs at the same time! We had a little picnik on New Cross road because the furniture was pretty heavy... but at least the day was nice.<div><br />On Sunday we had a great rehearsal of music for the upcoming event with some new musicians Asiere, Eiko, Souleymane. They rehearsed for many hours with Nino, while Jason took some video clips.The music is sounding gentle and poetic, like a blend of cherry blossom and mimosa - an intriguing melody that occassionally flows to the Far East and sometimes to the clublands of Ibiza with sudden folk references.<div><br />The highlight of the week was Lenka and Eva's Birthday on Monday. Eva hosted a 'grass and bubbles' themed party at her flat while Daria made delishious mohito's and 'Daria's own'coffee mix. It was very nice to dance on fresh grass and some twigs, definitely added an earthy feel to the event. Lenka and Evas aging was much softened by a cosy atmosphere of cheesecakes and gin. Happy Birthday girls!</div></div></div></div>Akleriahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17049233426814126525noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879296198181262273.post-32005427879809144612010-04-06T18:05:00.000-07:002010-04-06T18:28:55.116-07:00The Easter Bunny has cometh.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfRZv6883h8qAa3F7obF4MRKjk4keQq216ZWliZO189v4xm_E94iMr1UVFnwQejlF9NvoNmz9hemcChrUXxhEvgi9fjRn3oiRjEZUvWgfCLdiUN6-8C0lutHSn5fNi_ay9jAzRsnjHGRR/s1600/4498808184_733ae7f3ea_o.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxfRZv6883h8qAa3F7obF4MRKjk4keQq216ZWliZO189v4xm_E94iMr1UVFnwQejlF9NvoNmz9hemcChrUXxhEvgi9fjRn3oiRjEZUvWgfCLdiUN6-8C0lutHSn5fNi_ay9jAzRsnjHGRR/s400/4498808184_733ae7f3ea_o.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457200868988368146" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />This Easter weekend we lived through a tebble nightmare. We were visited by no one else but the actual Easter Bunny. They may describe them as cute and fluffy in books - but no, it's all a big fat lie just like Santa. It's time to face the realities. Easter Bunny is evil. Easter Bunny doesn't give you chocolate eggs - no, instead scotch eggs - made from meat of small children that Bunny kills. Bunny first lures a child towards her by smiling sweetly and pointing at the child, then pointing back at herself then at the basket of brightly coloured chocolate eggs which are nut milk and gluten free, just in case the child is allergic, but stuffed full of the really cool LSD drug; the child is therefore attracted to come closer to the Easter Bunny and quickly grabs an egg and eats it faster then lightning. While the child is over the moon in a technicolour LSD world the Bunny quickly chops the little creature's head off with a very big and sharp knife, eats the brains (only if the child seems smart enough) and makes the chocolate flavoured scotch eggs. Luckily we managed to resist the temptation and shot the Easter Bunny right in the foot. Haha no jumping and eating children for you my friend! Someone's going to be a vegetarian!And yes, this is an absolute fact - bunnies really are predators of humans - at night when noones watching they come in groups and nibble on your ears.
