Moreskinsound

Moreskinsound is a duo of musician David Toop and butoh dancer Ania Psenitsnikova. They explore extremes of stillness, working with space, presence and the intensity of punctuated silence and its impact on bodies. Their work encompasses live performance using found objects and instruments, flutes, aerial butoh and inactions - events in remarkable spaces, in sea caves, clifftops and alien landscapes.

Since 2023 their public performances have included the National Gallery London, Prague, Basel, Tartu, Volume Festival Sydney, Punkt Festival Kristiansand, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Non-public events, described as inactions, have been recorded in Cornwall, Australia, Norway, a cave of bats in Krabi, Thailand and the ancient and silent Viru peat bog, Estonia. All of these activities can culminate in workshops which explore improvisation, listening, movement, objects, materials and the nature of space.

"From the ceiling of this dark room a swathe of material hung down and the shadow of a shape began to dilate like an accordion opening out, slowly an arm unfolded; this was Psenitsnikova as chrysalis becoming human body." Jazzwise, November 2024.

Ania Psenitsnikova

Ania Psenitsnikova is a visual and performance artist and curator. Born in Estonia, she has travelled and learned butoh dance with Flavia Ghisalberti, Moeno Wakamatsu, Masaki Iwana and Daisuke Yoshimoto. Studying music independently since 1996, she has worked as an aerial butoh artist since 2011. Between 2015 to the present she has collaborated with Dasha Apakhonchich, co-curating seven exhibitions in four countries, exploring the censorship phenomenon and participating in performances and events, include the Party of the Dead project, and the Grow and Decay ecological festival in Estonia. Their exhibition, One Can Not Be Too Careful, Feminist Edition, was nominated for the best visual art award in Brighton Fringe Festival, 2018.

おおしまたくろう Takuro Oshima

Takuro Oshima calls himself a sound player who creates works that merge engineering and sonic experimentation. Drawing from his background in engineering, Oshima develops sound devices that explore the concept of “noise” as a reflection of uncontrollable situations. He considers his own stuttering as “noise”, presenting works that celebrate unpredictability and challenge societal norms of communication and tolerance. Through these playful performances, Oshima aims to “massage” societal intolerance.

Recent works include KAKKIN, a project that combines a skateboard and an electric guitar, allowing the performer to “play” the shape of the city. His works often focus on interactive sound performances and DIY acoustic tools, engaging both the audience and their surrounding environments.
Oshima holds a Master’s degree in Media Creation from the Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences (IAMAS).
