Glitch, interval, this way-that way dubiousness, slight delay, sharp intake, split second gap
Light Hesitates is a text-voice piece and a contemplation on hesitation. Hesitancy being present in the body and perhaps a useful tactic to disrupt linear progression and certainty, to notice other ways of seeing. Ideas of partial visibility and translucency (mist, tracing paper, dusk) and of navigation in relation to light (moth, dung beetle, ear) crept into the work from the periphery. The texts stem from a summer artist residency at Hospitalfields Arbroath Scotland in 2023.
As choreographer I was experimenting with writing that emerged from an immediacy of experience and of moving. I am curious how language inhabits and how the body inhabits language, how words resonate from the body and fold back into the body. How certain words organised in score-like structures become dance partners. In writing for radio, as a new way of making a choreographic work, I was working perhaps with how words are held in a voice as an extension of the body, how to bring lightness and spatiality to words spoken aloud and play with what surfaces between writing, reading, speaking, listening.

Is there a silent place here ?
Let’s bring some new questions to our radio making
Where do we live? Where is my horse? Where comes the air from? How to build healthy relationships? Wie viele Leute kennst du hier? Is there a silent place here? Warum? Warum gerade jetzt? Why am I here? Welche Eissorte? Warum? When is it 17 o‘ clock? Where is my horse? What do I hear? Where do you live? What sound do you like to hear when falling asleep?
Perhaps we won’t find all the answers this time, but there is always next year, by the lake.

In the place where I’m sitting now, I feel great privilege.
And you’ve asked me to think about medicine
a collective sonic collage by Sarah Scaife
In a sympathetic garden, we made a gentle journey to explore wellbeing and medicine with some honesty. The work is created from original sounds, collected and recorded live in the gardens of Dartington Hall, Devon, UK, by contributors who joined Sarah’s workshop at Sentient Performativities: thinking alongside the human, 2022.
a wonderful collage of voices — including some amazingly vulnerably and moving moments (participant)
In the spaces between us and the more-than-human, we found sensations, imaginings and understandings. These conversations are ultimately lyrical and optimistic, but other voices and feelings are heard.
Sarah warmly thanks the participants who generously shared their recordings and trusted her to create this collage. The participants are Eleanor Snare, Gemma Collard-Stokes, Jane Mason, Katrina Brown, Rita Leduc, Sabine Kussmaul, Sam Francis, Scott Thurston.
