WORKSHOP

Erin Hill + Nina Vroemen

The Sisters of the Celestial Order of Nephology (the study of clouds) is an interdisciplinary performance project by Horizon Factory (Erin Hill and Nina Vroemen). Forming in 2019, during a dance residency at Studio 303 (Montreal), the fictitious, pseudo-sect of two, blue cloaked, atmospheric-nuns were called by the unseizable state of clouds and the ephemeral narratives that form them. These narratives are personal, environmental, futuristic, and potential warning signs. The Sisters engage across multiple mediums and disciplines, including performance, video, radio, workshops, and writing. In 2024, they printed the prototype for their forthcoming publication Deep Gazing. They have presented their work at RURART (Cookshire-Eaton, 2020), at the Fonderie Darling (Montreal, 2020), at the Third Space Gallery (Saint John, New Brunswick, 2021), at Artscape Gibraltar (Toronto, 2022), at CCOV (Montreal, 2022), at SummerWorks (Toronto, 2023), at Eastern Bloc (Montreal, 2023), at the Performing Arts Forum (Saint-Erme, France, 2023), and at PIQUE (Ottawa 2024).
