Something is Happening

Documentary short film covering the Hummingbirds & Hamburgers residency, an exploration of digital interface through dance. The film documents an art research residency led by Ellison, in November 2022, at the Bonotto Foundation in Veneto, Italy, home to the Bonotto Collection of Fluxus scores and concrete poetry. Here, the artist collaborated with a team of designers, dancers and musicians and six students from local Art and Dance schools, towards the development of a new score for movement and a live performance. Hummingbirds and Hamburgers is a collaborative research and performance project initiated by Christine Ellison (UK) and developed in collaboration with Erato Tzavara (GR), Nicholas Ward (IE). The residency performance was developed with Vassilis Tzavaras (Gnous Collective, GR), Maria Pisiou and Fer Gonzales-Morales (Lost Movement Collective, NL), with participation from students and recent graduates from the Veneto region. The film was made in collaboration with filmmaker Robbie McKane.
