FKA twigs

In honour of the seven finalists of the 2022 International Woolmark Prize, FKA twigs directs and stars in PLAYSCAPE, a short film celebrating the art of “play”. FKA twigs’ collective ‘AVANT GARDEN’ launches its new era in this piece for the 2022 International Woolmark Prize. FKA twigs developed an exploration of play within creativity, a method in which the purest expression has a space to be birthed and happy accidents are embraced and elevated. PLAYSCAPE, was inspired by Noguchi’s vision of play as a creative catalyst. Featuring and directed by English singer-songwriter and dancer FKA twigs, the film merges influence from fashion, art, dance, and music. Choreographed by classically trained dancer Juliano Nunes, the film opens with an empty gallery of Noguchi’s play sculptures, which becomes populated by a diverse ensemble cast of characters.

Shot on location for the Manchester International Festival, the film shows the work twigs created and filmed one per day during her week-long residency last year. Conceptualized as an abstract autobiographical piece, Soundtrack 7 includes performances set to “How’s That”, “Ultraviolet,” and “Good to Love” among others, and is bound together by a striking, repeated recitation of Thomas Wyatt’s poem “I Find No Peace” (an excerpt from which opened twigs’ critically acclaimed LP1). Emphasizing the grit and physicality of dance, twigs describes her latest project as “flesh, sweat, feeling, muscle, and a live movement, no air brushing, no frills.” -BAMCinematek
