Join exhibiting artist Benjamin Ord and Enjoy Director Tendai Mutambu for an informal walkthrough of Call in your muses. 

Moving between dance, cinema and everyday gestures, the conversation will explore how Ord reworks recorded images and sound through choreography, editing and repetition. Hear about the works’ varied sources and how Ord draws on his training as a dancer and choreographer. Refreshments provided.

Benjamin Ord is an artist and choreographer born in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa New Zealand and based in London. His practice, primarily based in performance and moving image, explores how the body pushes against the fixed surface of a finite image, object or linear time. Frequently using methodologies and forms that are lo-fi and queer, his work points to an expanded notion of liveness that intervenes in the present moment in order to gesture towards the transformational potential of the future. He has shown work at venues including Marta Mora, RM Gallery, Kunstverein Harburger Bahnhof, Close-Up Film Centre, APT Gallery, Spike Island, DAAD Gallery, and The Place. As a dancer for over a decade he worked for several major dance companies including Company Wayne McGregor, as well as performing in work by Sriwhana Spong, Tino Seghal, and Pablo Bronstein, among others. Benjamin holds an MA Artists’ Film and Moving Image from Goldsmiths, University of London, an MA Creative Practice from Trinity Laban, and is currently a PhD candidate at the Kingston School of Art at Kingston University, London.
