Performance Art Event: Alicia Radage + ITZATNA
Event Information
About this event
Performance Platform is a diverse artist led organisation focused on providing a regular live platform for performance art.
It provides a supportive inclusive environment and encourages intergenerational dialogue by working with emergent, mid career and established artists.
It doesn’t impose curatorial themes on artists, it sees its role as facilitating and supporting artists to share their work and to develop new audiences for that work.
Performance Platform was established during the pandemic. It offered the first Covid secure performance art events in London. Performance Platform is now programming regular events to support cultural recovery and to encourage wider audience engagement.

ALICIA RADAGE
‘Writhe' seeks a radical communication found in the commonplace. The work intuits, ingests and forces forth the more than human. ‘Writhe’ touches on queer ecology, interspecies communication, joy and vibrations that call for a human re-wilding within the ecosystems we inhabit.
Radage's practice reaches beyond the body and its political histories to a spiritualism that grasps towards other than human terrains. This piece explores the need for interspecies' communication and the healing of the mother wound. Radage has shown their work throughout the UK as well as Italy, Germany, Austria, Colombia, Chile and India. They have been supported by The British Council and Arts Council England and have taught at Universities on Fine Art and Theatre courses. They are one half of the collaboration Radage ▽ Hardaker with Ro Hardaker. Radage is currently making work at the intersection of Neurodivergent experience and Shamanic practice.
ITZATNA (SEBASTIAN H-W & ALFREDO HAU)
'IXIM (2022)' is a new multisensory performance ritual by IZATNA developed out of their recent project Hanal Pixan: Food For All Souls (2021) - an immersive dining experience inspired by Mexican Day of the Dead that explored life, death and rebirth, ancestors, eating, ritual and ceremony through the myth, cuisine, and politics of corn maize, native to Mexico.
I Ƭ Z Λ Ƭ N Λ / ITZATNA Arts are an emerging artist collective, that cultivate creative intercultural collaborations between artists and diaspora communities in Mexico, Latin America, and the UK.
Established by the father-son artist duo Alfredo Hau (Visual Artist & Professional Chef) and Sebastian H-W (Live Artist & Theatre-Maker), ITZATNA Arts Collective cultivate radical, decolonial, and cross-disciplinary approaches to creating cutting-edge intercultural projects that combine theatre, performance and live art, alongside socially engaged outreach arts workshops.
ITZATNA have presented projects in the UK and the EU, including at ]performance s p a c e [ (London), Sarean Centro Cultural (Bilbao), and MeinBlau Galerie at Month of Performance Art (Berlin), among others.
