🖤 noelle lee 🖤

For our final ExP x @theonlyanimaltheatre artist, say hello to Noelle, Kyra, and George! They're sharing their new work: wings in the breath, rope in the spine Featuring: Noelle Lee- Creator/performer @noael_ly George Berking- Creator/performer @geo.gram Kyra Fay- Creator/performer @eletrik_algae Sophie Dow- Sound Design @agrimony.arts Ricardo Hardy- Outside Eye @rchrdy Featuring a three-tiered arbutus mobile and set of hand-made, naturally tanned, fish leather wings, three bodies are guided through shared tension, tracing between land and body, past and future, and individuality & shared becoming. Forming temporary architectures of care and strain, balance depends on attention and collective sensing. What is inherited from our ancestors is embodied with memory, choice, and knowledge of its possible impacts– a process sensitive, alive, and wider than a single body. Photo credits: 2.

Hi fellow animals, anata laylay here☁️ UPDATE: This event is now sold out! Email us to join the waitlist. The Only Animal is hosting an ‘eco’ edition of What Lab’s Exquisite Pressure Residency. We asked 3 artist groups to: - explore a novel creation process reflecting ‘eco-centric’ values or concepts - initiate a process or relationship that could have a life beyond the show This March, join us for a series of relaxed ‘Slow Social Club’ meet-ups to share research, experiments, and methods inspired by the artists’ residencies, leading to a showing of the new works March 27-28, 2026 at What Lab. Our first Slow Social Club X Exquisite Pressure is Saturday, March 7th with featured artists Noelle Lee, George Zheng Berking, and Kyra Royo Fay at UNIT/PITT. Thank you to our friends at UNIT/PITT for hosting us for this event! making mobiles: dynamic entanglements 🌀 Join us for a shared making space where we’ll create mobiles using found and everyday materials. We’ll work with the mobile as a dynamic form, an entity of balance, movement, and entanglement, shaped by touch, gravity and relationship. As we build and play with balance, we will engage with questions of place, movement, and connection through bodies, materials, memories, and the lands we are shaped by. We invite objects as portals carrying personal, collective, and land memory. We invite you to bring small objects that fit easily in one hand. Here are some prompts for collecting: -something reclaimed -a portal to home -something that holds traces (elemental markings, memory, ancestral) -something with a promise -A childhood fascination -A glimmer (something that makes your body at ease or feel safe) Some examples: dried flowers, parts of a broken clock, sticks, stones, shells, a tiny spoon, an ancestor’s ring, a pinecone. You’re welcome to bring whatever feels meaningful. No experience is needed. This is a space for curiosity, making, and being together! When: Saturday, March 7th @ 1PM - 3PM Where: UNIT/PITT, 2954 W 4th Ave, Vancouver Free to attend, donations are always welcome!

Hi fellow animals, anata laylay here🌀 We are so excited to be supporting three groups of artists during What Lab (@what__lab ) x The Only Animal’s Exquisite Pressure! Today we’re spotlighting Noelle Lee (@noael_ly ), George Zheng Berking (@geo.gram ), and Kyra Royo Fay (@eletrik_algae ). Noelle, George, and Kyra will be hosting a special session of Slow Social Club at UNIT/PITT on Saturday, March 7th. Details to come in our next post. About the Artists: Noelle Lee 李茵諾 (Lei Yan Nok) is an interdisciplinary, process-based artist, working predominantly with dance, performance, and visual arts. Her work is rooted in an exploration of the intersections between artistic practice and therapeutic modalities, supported by teachings from the land and the people who tend to it. She is greatly interested in improvisational sound and movement, somatic therapeutics, archetypes and myths, and the cultivation and movement of energy. Her work is informed by all those before her and all those that will come, and she is forever grateful to the living entity of land that has always supported her. She was born and raised in Hong Kong, has a Cantonese-Hong Kongese mother, and a Fujianese father raised between Hong Kong and Makassar, Indonesia. She currently live on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations. George Zheng Berking is an artist and community organizer on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Nations. Rooted in lineages of clown, contact improvisation, somatics, and mobile sculpture, he tends to systems change across individual and collective bodies, attuning them to land and other-than-human beings. Kyra Royo Fay is a Filipina-American multi-undisciplinary artist, educator, and facilitator living on the unceded territories of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Nations. Born and raised in the archipelago of Indonesia, her work is shaped by the textures of diasporic identity, ecological kinship, and ancestral entanglement. Image Descriptions in the comments.

✨ Get your tickets to vActory! ✨ 📅 Sep 19 & 20 🕢 Doors at 7PM / Show at 7:30PM 📍 What Lab (1814 Pandora St, Vancouver) 🎫 Tickets by donation ➡️ link in bio We're proud to present three short-form, cabaret-style presentations at this year's vActory, featuring: Hearts and Boots by Jaewoo Kang (@jaewookang_main ) Hearts and Boots is a queer puppet performance retelling the myth of Korean goddess Mago using Bratz dolls, miniature sets, and irreverent humor. Blending pop culture with ritual, it explores themes of creation, bodily sovereignty, and ancestral memory, transforming mythology through playful subversion and richly detailed, absurd theatricality. - These Wings Are Not To Fly Away by Noelle Lee (@noael_ly ) These Wings Are Not To Fly Away is a piece that explores sound, movement, and group improvisation. In this process we cultivate listening and responding to conductivity and interconnection both in our bodies and in the spaces between our bodies. - Ye Dil Sun Raha Hai by Punit Singh (@skiirrttttt ) Ye Dil Sun Raha Hai is a dance theatre work shaped by memories of songs, the quiet rhythms of daily life, and the fading edges of niche subcultures. It blends contemporary and street dance with voice, circling around an identity that often feels foreign even in the familiar, while trying to stay close to whatever’s slipping away. - MC Hilary Wheeler (@hilarywheelerofficial ) will also be sharing excerpts from her own piece, The List. By-donation tickets at the link in our bio! See you there 🫵
