Save the dates! A Choreographic Exhibition is coming to Kanal - Centre Pompidou in January 2027. Unfolding over a large section of the brand new building, the exhibition turns Kanal into a living site in which choreography, performance, sound, photography and video converge. Revisiting a decade long inquiry into gesture and the ways bodies become charged with meaning. Beyond the museum as a repository of static objects, A Choreographic Exhibition proposes a space where gestures can be held, rehearsed and reimagined. Concept, choreography, photography, video: Ula Sickle Performance: Amanda Barrio Charmelo, Liza Baliasnaja, Sidney Barnes, Sophia Dinkel, Jose Funnel, Ashley Ho, Amina Szecsödy, Amber Vanluffelen, Vladimir Babinchuk and others. Technical coordination, Sound: Ofer Smilansky With guests: Raphaël Hénard, Yann Leguay Costumes: Sabrina Seifried and Wang Consulting Ceramic Objects: Maika Garnica, Ula Sickle Production: Joëlle Laederach for Outline Curated by Eliel Jones Co produced and supported by Kanal - Centre Pompidou Brussels, NW Aalst, Vorres Museum, The Flemish community commission and Outline. 📸 @pramoediya ✨ @amanda.barrio.charmelo @aminaszecsody @jwfunnell @sophiaclea @sidbarn_s @lizaliizaliiiza @am_j_v @v.l4d1m1r @asheyho @ofer_smilansky @seifriedlich @wang_consulting_ @maikagarnica

Jose Funnell leads Monday Night Improvisation next week, inviting you to find pleasure in movement and engage in dance as a life-affirming practice 🌿⁠ ⁠ 📅 Monday 21 September, 6.30pm-8pm⁠ 🎟️ £10 / £8 a class with a Class Card⁠ 🔗 Book Monday Night Improvisation via link in our bio⁠ ⁠ Informed by Jose’s experience in somatics, meditation and the queer club space, you will use movement to generate present moment awareness and collective joy whilst dancing together and alone.

Today is African Emancipation Day in the UK, an important moment to remember that, despite endless efforts to distort history, the 500-year holocaust of plantation slavery did not end because of Western benevolence. Though its logics continue in many forms of labour exploitation today, plantation slavery ended because of sustained collective struggle: through maroonage, sabotage, refusal, boycotts, radical education, the dissemination of subversive literature, and an unyielding commitment to cultural and artistic traditions that carried spiritual, political and communal significance for African and Black diasporic people. Over the last few months we have been working together to develop a reparations learning game for our communities and the organisations that resource them. We chose to create something rooted in African heritage value systems, esoteric knowledges and divination traditions because, as Audre Lorde reminds us, “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” We believe that play, storytelling and collective learning can become part of the ongoing work of imagining and building liberatory futures. This game is one small contribution to that tradition, and we are filled with deep gratitude for everyone who has helped shape it so far. Thank you to everyone who joined our first and second play-throughs. We are learning so much through this process, and having a lot of fun along the way. 🐚✨🌱 Many of the beautiful pics here are taken by the incredible @denisha_anderson 📸

What does the collective soul of humanity sing in its last breath? Somerset House Studios artist Jose Funnell (@jwfunnell) explores this through a series of lamentations, an embodied attempt to grieve the present state of humanity. In this collaboration with @lie__ning, Jose draws on the figure of the zombie, rooted in Haitian Voodoo and the horrors of slavery, repurposed as a metaphor for consumption and collapse. This performance took place in December 2025 as part of Grounding Practice: Performance Symposium. Film directed by @phedavies.
