Projects this week

I will be performing in Woodlands on Tuesday afternoon from 1:00, subject to weather conditions.

Then, I’m off to the South to do some visiting and exploration and ultimately to stage three big waterfights over the weekend in Bristol. We will return to regularly scheduled Manhunt-and-performance next week, and I’ll have more information on my Game for Woodlands which will be happening the afternoon of Sunday 5 June, in tandem with a big picnic lunch at Woodlands Community Garden. It’ll be good, promise.

I’ve got my thinking cap on.

Artist in Residence & Games Festivals

This week I’m starting up as Artist In Residence in the Woodlands neighbourhood, as part of the Lanes project of the Woodlands Community Development Trust. What does that mean? Means we’re going to play Manhunt there all month!

Also, I’ll be working on my solo performance project with the violin, exploring the spaces, making some music, and creating tensions about political and aesthetic boundaries in relation to avant-garde performance, games, class and location.

Finally I’ll be hosting a special one-off game based on my experiences in the space at the community picnic event on Sunday 5 June.

This Saturday I’ll also be giving an artist talk at 1:00 at the Garden (same location as below).

If that wasn’t enough, I’m also taking International Espionage, the water-fight game I ran in Edmonton last summer, to Bristol on 28 May for igFest. Busy!
