New Kyd
Guest 23/24, Accomplice
New Kyd (they/she/layo) is an intuitive non-binary movement artist, creator, DJ, producer and performer. Their work is often based on listening and responding to intuitive impulses,“being in the moment” and continues with the creation of atmospheres and abstract storytelling. The work is guided by discoveries, research and impulsivity. Exploring the potentials of randomness, unising multi forms and streams of expression varying from visual mediums, creating sonic atmospheres using dance, electronic sounds, storytelling, live musical accompaniment, film and use of the voice. Kyd's philosophy is about discovering how things eventually fall into place (or don’t)...
New Kyd: "My current focus is 'strategies of survivals from (and/or-for) bodies of the diaspora'. I am informed by tenacious research into somatic practices and appropriating these for performances. As a queer, Yoruba, non-binary artist I activate dance as a vessel for research and improvised movement. My creative practice relies heavily on active listening, research and intuition. I seek to compose stories and imagined experiences, then to transmute them into something obtainable."
