Table for Two
Ben and Holly explore the human condition through domestic activities. Sitting at identical tables, divided by a wall but connected by video, they consume the same food throughout the day. Supported by Artsadmin and Escalator.
Jenny and Krissi’s Cake Show
Jenny and Krissi invite you to mix, blend and fold your memories, stories and disasters in their 8 hour cake-baking marathon. At the end of the day, the cakes will be paraded through the building and then everyone gets to tuck in!
The Ideal Recipe
A personal story told through a recipe book. Part dinner party, part genealogical excavation, part cookery demonstration, The Ideal Recipe weighs up the intricate balance between responsibility to others and responsibility to oneself.
From Here to There
In a sequence of dramatically lit and ever-changing arrangements, post-WW2 furniture and artefacts are shifted across a room in a slow and beautiful journey. Stephanie Douet is an artist and runs the Queen of Hungary gallery.
INT. ROOM - DAY
Audiences are taken two at a time on a ten-minute journey into a site-specific ‘live film’. Seth Kriebel is a live artist, director of *Rules+Regs and Live Art South East. Zoe Bouras is a performer, most recently with Station House Opera.
Green Room
Quadrophonic electro-acoustic composition and instrumental improvisation. Green Room recreates the atmosphere of a chosen time and place through the actions and sounds that happen there. The work examines experience and memory.
What Goes Up Must Come Down
Join Jenny Edbrooke in the human-hoopla creation of a new work. Due to be performed at the National Review of Live Art in February, this is Part 2 of The Sexy Project, a trilogy being developed with Fresh.
Corking Project
Katsunobu Yaguchi and his alter-ego, Mr Corking, use humour and sentiment to champion the usefulness of cork’s materiality. Katsunobu Yaguchi will be previewing the piece that he is taking to the National Review of Live Art in February.
Call John the Boatman
After diving into a dustbin of paint, William Hunt emerges to sing a three part canon with the aid of tape machines tied to his legs. William Hunt’s performances - engineering absurd situations to sing songs - have been shown internationally.
Corridor
Eitan Buchalter’s site-oriented performances have become a regular feature of recent Fresh festivals. Typically simple interventions, Eitan Buchalter’s works playfully disrupt their viewer’s engagement with a space.
Welcome
Welcome explores relationships between migrants and locals. It collapses stigmas surrounding immigration by allowing the audience to participate in understanding immigration issues through a one-to-one exchange with the artist.
Clutches
Clutches encircles the space in a clockwise direction and is composed of twelve parts over one hour. This new work employs metaphorical images to explore the fragility of the body and its inhabitant.
The action of this performance will be divined by the room and will in turn ‘explain’ the room. Brian Catling is the founder of The Wolf In The Winter, producer of Cabaret Melancholique and professor of Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, Oxford.
What did you get into this for?
Sally O'Reilly (writer and events organiser), David Madella (performance artist, director of the London Biennale), Tanuja Amarasuriya (Live Art Producer for Theatre Bristol) and Simon Day (theatre maker and director of The B Theatre) speak candidly about whatso good about performance.
Madam Bazié
From serial monogamist to footballer’s wife, Natasha Gilmore uses dance and humour in this autobiographical solo. Natasha Gilmore is a core member of Protein Dance and artist in residence at Dance House, Glasgow.
Enduring
How far can the mind and body go in the pursuit of comfort? This work-in-progress for four dancers explores how much we can tolerate when patience and endurance becomes the usual way of feeling.
The Long Walk To The Performance
A performance of fresh starts and new beginnings but as the tragedies accumulate, it becomes a test of optimistic endurance. Search Party are supported by Exeter Phoenix’s Scratch programme.
Pests
Animal lovers prepare to avert your binoculars as these stupid toys nibble the edges of your peace of mind. L H Trevail is a founder of The Society of Wonders and an Artsadmin bursary artist. Thanks also to Viewfinder Gallery, Greenwich.
