About the Event

Rumble and What Lab are very excited to welcome you to back to Exquisite Pressure! ExP allows artists to try something new, to share their works in progress in front of an audience, gather feedback, and put their investigations to the test. It’s a night to experience new work in a beautiful, brave, and vulnerable early stage.

ExP x Rumble features the work of:

• Paige Louter
• Santi Henderson
• Shervin Zarkalam

Curated and hosted by Rumble! Here’s what to expect:

Welcome to Exquisite Pressure’s CON-ference! We’ve given our artists the task to come up with a 15-20 minute piece in the form of a lecture or something else you might present at a conference – EXCEPT it doesn’t need to be based in truth, research, or any such credible experience. Lectures may contain truthful material, but we are interested in creating space to explore the performance form of deception.

However… This is Exquisite Pressure, and our main goal was to give our artists the space and time to explore, try, fail, and create. It’s more about the process than the end result. The idea of a CON-ference was a starting point, and now it’s up to the artists to put their spin on it and put their skills and creativity to the test.

Team Rumble has been in touch with the artists throughout their process, and we’re thrilled for you to see what they create!
