performance space london

Remember the Regimes of Hardship symposium I wrote about last month?

Well, i had such a good time there that I applied for the Summer Residency and have been accepted!

Yes, that's right, from the 1st August until the 1st September, i'll be in an artist bootcamp at performance space in london.

i've had a few more stressful things to focus on here in berlin, but when i give myself time to think about it, i'm ridiculously excited.

There are opportunities for regular critique from Bean and Ben, we'll be running a weekly 12-hour research marathon (like the How To Do Things With Words that Leigh Robb and I run yearly) and there's already been an invitation to participate in a show in Finland during the residency.

I have a stack of work I want to do - some that's been in the pipeline for a while, other new works that are more 'performancey' than i've done before. I'm hoping to do something related to blood. yes.

Give Me Something To Listen To will get a showing in some form and likely some more listening marathons - especially given we'll be living a stone's throw away from the main Olympic stadium in London.

Hell yes!

There are some great artists involved and I'm really looking forward to the massive push this will give my work.

I'll also be writing a lot about it at the time, so be prepared.
