Rollin’ n Tumblin’
Presentation and Dance video NINA DANINO Religion&Art Forum Session 3, 17th May 2021
Rollin’ n Tumblin’ is an extract of a longer dance video Killing What’s Inside of You, a series of private dance videos. The presentation circles around approaches to jouissance and as it might cohere around the dance performance and original private aspect of the dance videos is discussed. Killing What’s Inside of You was partly an excuse to dance for an hour to the rock group Cream in the practice of jouissance.

Light: Look at your Sun (Schwingungen 1972) Ash Ra Tempel
Playing the track following John L’s vocals and, as far as possible Manuel Göttsching’s guitar. Religion & Art, Live, St Stephen Walbrook, London, 6 April 2024.
“I have been listening to Ash Ra Tempel’s music and particularly ‘Light: Look at Your Sun’ which has vocals, since I included Ash Ra Tempel’s exquisite music for Le Berceau de Cristal which is in the film soundtrack of Solitude (2022). Not only is Manuel Göttsching’s music of a transcendental order, I love the masterful guitar build up in this track and its spiritual but also psychedelic and cosmic, slightly menacing atmosphere. I wanted to see what happens to introduce this music into the sacred space in this experimental event but also to follow vocally as far as I could, Manuel Göttsching’s guitar which screeches, cries and screams to transcendence.”
