Moments when light peeks in a and out from behind clouds\, or shadows which sweep across a landscape before sunset. \nscores for fleeting sunlight is an invitation for conscious attuning and being-in relationship with celestial bodies and forces. It reminds us of the sun-god (Apollo\, Ra)\, and the ongoing rotation of the earth beneath our feet. The research brings attention to the continuous orbits\, circuits and spirals which build our universe\, and contextualises our human-ness within. And then: invites us to dance\, respond\, play\, resonate\, and make kin. \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nAbout our Artist in Residence: Abigail Agius \n  \n\n\n\n\n“I am an interdisciplinary artist living and working in Malta. Working in visual media and performance-making\, I create research-based work driven by physical and emotional experiencing\, at the intersection of bodily knowledge and site-specific practice. \n  \nI engage with landscapes and phenomena such as sunlight\, seismic activity\, waves and heat to wonder about the visible and invisible\, permeable and impermeable membranes which divide one being from another. How do I understand\, and find ways to move beyond the skin which separates me from you\, from the earth? \n  \nIn my work\, the body is a central locus of experience and knowledge. I am interested in gestures which emerge from a phenomenology of the body\, working within a state of perpetual being\, doing and becoming — in response to environmental and emotional fluctuations. \n  \nIn my choreographic practice\, I look to re-encounter and meet the body at the place where the speed\, technology\, and demands of production and late-stage capitalism have left it behind. I dig into the archives of the body to find parts which remain hidden\, unacknowledged and forgotten. \n  \nta’ beżża’ l-art — my island-specific performance research — has been selected for Around a Process of Making\, a mentorship and residency programme for choreographic research on the volcanic island of Stromboli\, facilitated by Marosi Festival. Between September 2023 and June 2024\, I am carrying out this research under the mentorship of German Jaregui (Ultima Vez) and Antia Otero Diaz\, developing the work towards a sharing at the Marosi Festival in June 2024. \n  \nMy recent performance work includes [secret performance] (Juranyi Studios Budapest\, supported by School of Disobedience and SÍN Art Centre)\, Ma Muntajna (Hellbrunner Steintheater\, Salzburg)\, and il-Vjagg tar-Ragg (Teatru Salesjan\, Malta). I have exhibited visual work at IAM Contemporary\, Spazju Kreattiv\, MUŻA and Gabriel Caruana Foundation amongst others. I am one half of opensound.network\, a research group centred around creating collective listening experiences in open spaces\, in the form of sound performance-installations. \n  \nIn 2021\, I read for a degree in Comparative Literature at Goldsmiths University of London\, graduating with a thesis exploring possibilities for a posthuman body and sensibility in nature. \n  \nAfter following the work of the ŻfinMalta and as participating in other residencies\, I would like to initiate a new choreographic project — scores for fleeting sunlight — as part of the AiR programme\, developing it in collaboration with other talented artists. This residency is an opportunity to explore\, widen and deepen this research\, while contributing to wider dialogues around choreographic practice on the islands. \n\n\n\n\n  \nWatch out for the ŻfinMalta AiR2025 call out for proposals\, come early 2025!
