SUMMARY:Talks | In Conversation with Curator Sara Sassanelli at Fire Statio
 n Artists’ Studios
DESCRIPTION:\nJoin us in conversation with Sara Sassanelli\, who joins us a
 t FSAS as our next visiting curator in 2025 as part of the FSAS Internatio
 nal Curator Residency programme.\n\n\n\nCurator and producer Sara Sassanel
 li traces their journey from London’s DIY dance\, music and club scenes 
 into institutional contexts and\, more recently\, independent producing. I
 nspired by Michael Clark\, whose practice fused ballet\, punk\, fashion\, 
 queer nightlife\, Sassanelli reflects on how early encounters with skill\,
  collaboration\, and friendship shaped their approach to dance and curator
 ial work.\n\n\n\nThey situate their beginnings in resourceful\, collective
  experimentation\, working closely with artists on commissions\, workshops
 \, and live performances. At the ICA (2019–2024)\, Sassanelli re-establi
 shed the experimental dance programme\, developing hybrid formats that blu
 rred boundaries between performance\, exhibition\, rave\, and live music. 
 Projects included commissions with choreographer Eve Stainton (Dykegeist\,
  IMPACT DRIVER) and large-scale all-night events that expanded conventiona
 l performance frameworks.\n\n\n\nLast year Sara founded Alice Agency with 
 Jared Davis\, producing international projects that support experimental d
 ancers and musicians. As a producer and curator they work with artists inc
 luding Eve Stainton\, Billy Bultheel\, Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome\, Jack Hoga
 n and Florence Sinclair.\n\n\n\nThrough their work\, Sassanelli examines h
 ow curating and producing can create conditions for liveness and experimen
 tation\, even amid diminishing institutional support. Sara will introduce 
 their Fire Station project\, focusing on ‘groupwork’ in choreographic 
 practices.\n\n\n\n\n
