When did it feel the most tense? How many injuries has your body sustained? Under what circumstances have you pushed it to its limits? The successful body. The authoritarian body. The sweaty body. The becoming body. The complete body. The eternal body. The digital body. The ancestral body. The hidden body. What does your body remember? In this debut solo work by dance artist Xin Ji, the story of his body unravels through moments where the emotional and physical collide. Uncertainty, recklessness and euphoria slide into an intimate personal narrative — offering ways to consider our bodies as vehicles for resistance and alchemy.

What might artists across disciplines learn from each other? What might artists within a community learn from each other? The result was a micro-residency across disciplines. Curated by Nathan Joe, the first iteration of it ran for just under a week earlier this year at Te Wā, Ōtautahi Christchurch. In the second iteration, GAMER: Night School, select participants of GAMER returned and ran a series of talks and workshops where the public was invited. This was done in partnership with Parallax, a curatorial program at Artspace devoted to reiterating forms of gathering.
