Engine of Embers is a performance research project that experiments with releasing and transmuting community rage into an engine to power a performance. Anger is a hot and potent power supply, yet we often find ourselves subdued into passivity and powerlessness by overwhelming forces of oppression. Toi will open a space to engage with our collective rage, unlock frustrations, voice our cares, pierce through apathy and warm up passionate forces in our spirits to create change.

Toi is inviting members of the community of Stockton & Tees Valley to join per in exploring the transformation of anger through the body. During March 2025, Toi will hold three creative sessions experimenting with releasing anger through sound and movement, through visiting a rage room, through protesting together and moving towards subsequent feelings of lightness, energy and connection. We will explore how we can harness and sustain our fire, connecting to our nervous systems and deepening our awareness of the pathways of frustrations and rage in our inner and outer world.

There will be an opportunity (but no requirement) to perform for those interested, to be discussed during the workshops. 

Engine of Embers is part of ARC’s Make New Work Programme and was made in response to the provocations of Anger.

As part of ARC’s Make New Work Programme Engine of Embers is supported by funding from Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
