Introducing Zaki Musa: Our New Associate Artist
We are proud to announce Zaki Musa is joining us as a new associate artist!
Associates at Jacksons Lane are an essential part of our artistic offer at Jacksons Lane. We give space, mentorship, performance opportunities and often tour work we co-create with them. Zaki will be joining our current associate artists: Chusi Amoros, Rosie Rowlands and Brain Fools.
Meet Zaki Musa
Zaki Musa is a multi-disciplinary creative and circus artist pulling from a wide background of movement, design and narrative storytelling. Originally from Singapore, he has been London based for the past 10 years. His current research focuses on technology as a co-creator in performance, and our increasingly spiritual relationship with technology. His work primarily revolves around circus and pole, pulling from his diverse background in costume, conceptual design and speculative narratives.
You may have seen Zaki recently perform at the Hangwire Circus Showcase with his work in progress, Divinations 1.0. A multi-disciplinary aerial, movement and digital exploration into craft and ritual processes that aim to seek insights into the future. Using SOMI-1 movement sensors, the data transmitted generated live sounds during the performance. Divinations 1.0 questioned how do we shape movement patterns and rituals around digital culture and our devices?
