Hamish MacPherson is an artist-researcher interested in the cross-overs between choreography and philosophy.

His work involves setting up ‘relational structures’ (strange rules or games for example) that can be used for people to learn, make-performances or spend time together in other ways.

He is particularly interested in the relationships between theoretical knowledge and practical, embodied knowledge. For example he might work with abstract ideas in quite literal, concrete ways (what’s the relationship between floating thoughts and floating and water?) or focus on how we discuss something (lying down? in the dark?) alongside what we are discussing.

Hamish is currently interested include the dark and disengaged aspects of care, and the embodiment of state politics. He also think about ugly feelings like resentment and complaining, and what it means to prepare for the future.

Hamish’s work takes the form of performances, films, audio pieces, texts, games, workshops, publications, festivals and other things.

They take place in art and educational institutions, online and occasionally in public spaces. Often they go round and round an idea in lots of different ways as a kind of practical research.

Hamish often collaborate with other people on projects and they also perform with/ for others.

You can find Hamish on Instagram but the best way to find out what I’m doing is to subscribe to their email newsletter.
