Hazel Cardew 2021

Hazel Cardew
#1 A Linear Language (remote)
July 17 to August 7 2021 

In this first of a two-part residency with Uillinn, visual artist Hazel Cardew (Wales, UK) embarks on a research project, A Linear Language seeking to explore drawing as visual communication or instruction for other outlets such as sound and movement. The project will involve collaborative exploration with dance and performance artists, alongside research grounded in graphic scoring, dance notation and the principals of structure, both on and off the page.

In a two part online engagement 7 & 12 August, Hazel invited participants to explore graphic scores – an experimental way of depicting or recording sound, movement or even stories. They can work as a guide, instruction or map for performers to respond to. They can also be a response or recording of a place or action. It is a wonderfully creative way to convey sensory experiences – through drawing, anything can be notated.
