last week I saw a fish in the ice plunge at the hackney wick community sauna; and I may be riddled with disease, but the curses certainly are lifting. flittering from my shoulder blades like a tree nymph fallen from the branch (no one believes me about the fish)

This Sunday, our resident choral group @transchorus present The Songs of the Roadwytch: a series of co-created choral pieces exploring @libby.bove.arts’ exhibition, The Way of the Roadwytch.

Sunday 27 September | 2–5pm
🔗 PWYC, book tickets via the link in bio

Amongst the display, Trans+ Chorus will respond to the quasi-artefacts that tell of the Roadwytches with songs affirming gender non-conforming and disabled bodies, exploring their multitudes, their cycles, and their autonomy.

The audience is invited to join the chorus in a closing drone circle that will end the afternoon’s performance as we use the voice to help us rest, to slow and to pace 🌀

I came out with the blossoms
of Spring. Unfurling,
young and naive, before
Summer's scorched earth took everything from me.
And the embers still blister my hands and my feet
yet I build foundations in the ashes,
their warmth familiar.

I remember now how to
feel, and what it means to be
alive. What it means
to rest, and how it feels
to cry.

And though there is darkness
I no longer float adrift.
No longer free falling, I sit
with what is. For I'm grounded
on Thursdays, holding change in my hands,
my soft belly breaks
and I whisper: my thanks
to the queers gone before,
and the paths they have lit.
To the present day queers,
and the strength that they give
so that I may walk on,
teeth clamped,
around a trembling lip.
To the queers not yet here,
I do owe it.

So much love and appreciatation for the incredible people currently holding me, guiding me, and sharing this journey with me. I cannot believe how lucky I am. Also so much love and appreciation for the existence of Tiramisu, the practice of yoga, an ancient oak in Epping Forest that I commune with, and this little wooden duck that I have on loan.

even the tree’s have been brutalized by this summer’s passions, reckoning with the jagged responsibility of existence, dehydrated and tumbling to the ground (i’ve been projecting grief onto alligators and questioning themes of self-abandonment)

the shadows twist in unpredictable ways

your collection grows and shrinks and shifts

a silly softness,

a defiant joy,

a surrender to every moment

sometimes there is nowhere to be

and often no one with you to hold

the way your heart feels in the wind

your collection is a museum of you

a tender child’s precious possessions,

a game of memory and belief,

a playful test of trust and hope

grasp the hands that reach towards you

don’t let go, don’t let go

life’s-a-beach! unpredictably twisting and turning like an unattended garden hose left on full in the midday July sun! unfurling in unexpected and peculiar ways, cooking in the tropical heat

Let the juice of a peach run down your arm as you eat it naked in the ocean. A sandwich tastes better when it’s constructed at the beach. Buy flowers for a lover based on how the colours remind you of them. Sweaty palms can hold big feelings, tiny shells, soft faces. Often the steep, rocky, terrifying path is the only way forward. Sometimes you listen to a song and for a brief moment time stands still. Tie a cherry stem with your tongue. Stop thinking about how your belly looks. How many grams of protein in a sunset shared with friends? Does a cockroach enjoy jazz? Hot glue shell bikini bottom. Cardboard trees. Table for one. Pink clouds. Karl Marx labubu.

‘Bodies In Bloom’
Installation by Remi Marika Yennadhiou - @fish____boy

Bodies In Bloom is an immersive installation creating a multi-sensory environment to explore the expansive ways trans and nonbinary people use embodiment practices to connect to their inner worlds and find grounding, healing and relating.  Driven by the director’s personal experience of their own somatic movement practice as a way to feel present, the intention began with Remi’s desire to make a film by trans people for trans people to honor the ways we can find power and autonomy in our bodies.  This installation is an invitation to slow down, notice the sensation of your breath, the way you hold your chest. What does it mean to have this body? When the world attempts to drag us outside of ourselves, how can we practice returning home?

oh! to lose yourself in the pursuit of love! humbling is the privilege of intimacy! a sorrowful sort of honor; tasting it on your lips, then changing with the seasons. it’s a revolving door! unclenching your fists, attempt after attempt, learning to open your hands wider each time. scraping the bottom for as much insight as you can muster, then letting go! I’d be able to find meaning in a puddle of piss! slowly reigniting this lust for life, a beauty in the mundane. cataloging obscurities, challenging my beliefs! cycling the edge of canals for cheap thrills, crying at birds! being a soft lover-boy is grueling work; so many causalities, so much fear. a healing continuum!
