Victoria Macarte - Into the Glisk
Into the Glisk is an eco-feminist sci-fi dance film shot at RSPB Geltsdale and made with the local community. A group of walkers connect with nature to transcend the human, animal, plant and mineral world to become pure communication and travel freely through space and time. Glisk derives from Cumbrian dialect verb, meaning to glitter, shine, sparkle, glisten. Into The Glisk was commissioned by Green Croft Arts for the Trailblazer Exhibition.
Performers: Ann Stuart, Caroline Steven, Emma Skelton, Lara Martyn, Sharon Robson, Antonia Chica and Amanda Drago.
Victoria Macarte is originally from Cumbria but currently lives is Spain. After training in theatre, ballet and contemporary dance she moved into the underground electronic music and digital arts scene expanding across music, performance, spoken word, video and cinema. Immersed in the natural environment, defined by an aesthetic rather than a medium or discipline, her work seeks to reconcile the beauty and horror in the world for an ellipsis in time. When she grows up she hopes to become a force of nature.
