EAT YOUR WORDS EBCF

It was a nice event- low key but it built up and there were nice interactions. As I said in my insta post;  For this piece I invited people to write down words, which I then ate. A cathartic, healing and nicely absurd exchange. Less performative, more conceptual. I was handed all sorts- sad words, secrets, silly messages, quotations, poems, frustrated comments, quizzical thoughts- all [...]

The stake is the nowness- a metaphorical pole being thrust downwards claiming my self belief. If I build it, they may not come and thats [...]

Austria- Workshops in St Gilgen International School

While I was in St Gilgen working with Kirsty I made a series of performance art workshops and some power point presentations for the International School she teaches in. I was delighted to do this as I'd originally designed a workshop for kids around my body alphabet, and never got to do these because of.. you've guessed it, Covid... So it was interesting [...]
