Artist / Fitness Instructor + Personal Trainer / Community Organiser / Researcher / Fighter / (un)Professional Wrestler / Gender Awareness Training and Equity Work
Artist Roma Loudun improvises new worlds and modes of survival at the blur between discursive, sonic, visual, movement and embodied practices. Inherently collaborative her works develop new frameworks for queer gestures, touch and desire. By addressing the manners in which specific technological, social and material conditions shape, restrict and organise access, she enacts instances in which language, intimacy and violence are extracted, then redistributed as intense affective encounters.
Her works have been presented in galleries, festivals, theatres and online as texts, performances, videos and vocalisations. Sharing and research partners include The Tetley (UK), SPILL Festival of Performance (UK), AXISWEB (UK), Temple Bar Gallery (RI), The Leeds Playhouse (UK), The Live Art Development Agency (UK), Tate Modern (UK), The Centre for Live Art Yorkshire (UK), Queer City Cinema and Performatorium (CA), Uppsala Konst Museum (SE), PAGE: Assembly (FR), Yonder Gallery (UK) and ] Performance s p a c e [ (UK).
