Forthcoming and recent -
I perfored for Carolyn Deby/sirenscrossing on 25th, 26th and 27th January 2012 in a site-based promenade performance at UCL entitled thecitythecitythecity mbOdied. Part of her work is supported by a bursary stemming from a larger body of research and innovation, ‘Movement and Meaning’, initiated by Gill Clarke and Susan Benn of PAL. Carolyn is Artist in Residence at UCL Urban Laboratory.
Early in December 2011 Mark Carberry and I spent a day sort of in residence at the Brick Box in Tooting Broadway Market, performing improvisations and carrying out some experiments involving talking and drawing with other people in the cafe space. Amongst others, fine artist Ben Varney joined in the drawing, talking, watching and tea-drinking. This was a public sharing of our work building improvisations together and separately. We continue to meet and work, and are in conversation and what and where next. Maybe you can catch us again dancing opposite the butcher in Tooting Market before long.
