The space is wheelchair accessible, with all activity will take place on the ground floor with a wheelchair accessible toilet. Bench seating will be available as well as a number of soft seating options. All activity will take place in one large room so noise levels will likely be consistent throughout the space; we will have ear defenders if needed. Toilets are all gender neutral.

artist bio
Justine A. Chambers is a dance artist and educator living and working on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh Nations in Vancouver, Canada. Her practice is a collaboration with her Black matrilineal heritage, and extends from this continuum and its entanglements with Western contemporary dance and visual arts practices. Her research attends to individual and collective embodied archives, social choreographies of the everyday, and choreography and dance as otherwise ways of being in relation. Chambers’ work has been hosted at galleries, festivals and theatres nationally and internationally including: EMPAC, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, Toronto Biennial of Art, Libby Leshgold Gallery, Leonard and Bina Ellen Gallery, Contemporary Art Gallery, Sophiensaele (Berlin), National Arts Centre (Canada), Agora de la Danse, Art Museum at University of Toronto, Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, Artspeak, Vancouver Art Gallery, The Western Front, The Dance Centre, PuSH Festival, Burrard Arts Foundation and the Hong Kong Performing Arts Festival. She is the recipient of the 2025 VIVA Award. She is an Assistant Professor at the School for Contemporary Arts at SFU, and Associate Artist to The Dance Centre. Chambers is August Tyler-Hite’s mother.
Emergency Chorus is the collaboration between Ben Kulvichit (he/him) and Clara Potter-Sweet (they/them). Since 2016, they have created performance that spans experimental theatre, Live Art, dance and social practice (‘Beguiling and enchanting work’ – The Guardian). Their ongoing preoccupations include the relationships between ecology, capitalism and technology, and ways of approaching the future. In their work, they value complexity, strangeness, playfulness, intimacy and ambiguity.
They have presented work at venues and organisations including Battersea Arts Centre, Cambridge Junction, Arnolfini, Old Diorama Arts Centre and Chisenhale Dance Space. They were winners of the 2025 Untapped Award. Ben and Clara live in Bristol and are members of Interval artist collective.
