A Story, An Invocation, An Opening (2025) was devised from somatic intuitive dance workshops with a group of global majority folks, and brings together family archive footage of Trinidad Carnival, and sonic rhythms from the region to ignite a ghostly presence representative of personal and collective anxieties and transgenerational trauma. Rhiana Bonterre will lead an expanded screening of the film, together with its extended soundtrack, inviting audiences to respond to its invocations through intuitive movement and dance. Conceived as a collective invocation, the gathering unfolds as an immersive, participatory environment that foregrounds somatic practice, ritual, and shared presence, set against the backdrop of Canton’s written reflections on selfhood as collectively relatable.

—

This event is free and open to all, however advanced booking is required for the workshop and recommended for the evening events.

This programme is deeply rooted in audience engagement and participation, but this is always invitational, there is no pressure to perform or speak.

If LOVE had Senses… is curated by Nishi Chodimella, Norah Tsai and Reaia Parkes in partnership with Mimosa House and Goldsmiths MFA Curating for the exhibition A Formula for How to Find Love by artist Victoria Cantons.

The Lineup

Rhiana Bonterre (She/Her)

Working with film and moving image, Rhiana Bonterre’s interests begin in the body and all that it stores – [transgenerational or otherwise] and in the rituals, practices and happenings that jolt one into a reckoning with it. Drawing on her Trinidadian upbringing and positioning as a Black mixed-heritage person in the diaspora, she seeks to create openings for nuanced, spatial, liberatory possibilities in response to rigid, oppressive, colonial structures within and outside of us.

A graduate of Kingston School of Art (2021), Rhiana recently completed an MA at Central Saint Martins in Performance: Screen. Her work has been screened and exhibited at Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival (2021), Black Cultural Archives (2023), Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival (2021, 2022), and Folkestone Documentary Festival (2023), among others. She has recently been commissioned to create and present a work-in-progress film and exhibition in Folkestone, for SALT + EARTH Festival (2024) and has held multiple screenings in the town, with the arts organisations Folkestone Fringe and Creative Folkestone. Their work has also featured in exhibitions at Soho House: White City Studios (2023) and Lyric Hammersmith (2022) Theatre in London.
