A note on Friday’s event:
We’re grateful to everyone that made it down to the event, on what was a very busy weekend in the city. Everyone who performed brought such a beautiful energy and as always, we’re consistently in awe of the artists we work closely with.
At Self, we commission new dance works, platform underground music and try our utmost to create a space that’s open, collaborative and kind.
In order for us to make this work, and for us to continue creating space for artists, we ask you kindly to be respectful of performances during the show. When artists are performing, please listen attentively, and consider what you are watching. These moments represent a lot of time, thought and vulnerability from the artists, and being able to share that work in a focused space really matters.
Self has always been a safe space for artists to try out new ideas, and we can only continue to maintain this with your support.
With love, Self
\ Performance Spotlight: Rosabella Allen [Live]
@rosabellaallen is a Manchester-based artist whose work drifts between poetry, visual art, and creative experiments. She’s drawn to the complexities of love, the stories people carry, and the energy that lives in the club. Her art invites you in, yet never shows you everything at once.
She is a frequent collaborator with underground artists and is one third of band Shell Company.
\ Performance Spotlight: Siren [Live]

If one should copy the other without the intent to copy is it a theft or a deeper act of appreciation.
Can one side ever lead in a reflection, or are we lead together by something else entirely. Would we be different if we had not been observed, witnessed.
What is that thing that supports from beneath and above? A weight to soften the landing.
Blood.

PussyBoy are a London based sibling duo creating experimental choreographies and improvisational performances. Silas ( @silas.gc ) and Delilah Grocott Cain ( @delilah.gc ) grew up in Bristol before both training at London Contemporary Dance School, and completing their masters respectively at Northern School of Contemporary Dance and London Contemporary Dance School. Now they work freelance across the fashion, film, and music fields as movement directors, choreographers, performers and models as well as creating works for galleries, raves and theatres around the uk.
They will be running 5 performance experiments dissecting the foundational compounds of their relationship. The white hotel will be turned into their laboratory with everyone inside an active participant. With each experiment we can discover the limits and advantages to the sibling relationship, two bodies bound by genetic code and almost identical training.
