Duncan Speakman Sounds from Above the Ground

Duncan Speakman’s walks mix text, performance and live sound to create site-specific works that explore the relationship between sound and memory.

With a small group you follow a lone walker through the city streets, his internal monologue transmitted to your headphones. As you walk, listening to him dig into collective memory, the noise of the city is remixed live around you into glistening fragments and new layers.

Grace Surman Slow Thinking: Working

Grace Surman presents aspects of her project Slow Thinking: Working through performance and video.

She meditates on images and acts of becoming...becoming the natural, becoming wild, becoming old, becoming linked with the moon, becoming furniture, becoming bird, becoming cut-off...

I will attempt to reconcile ‘the politics of the bunny’ with my childhood rabbits; I will mainly be on my knees, singing, eating and putting my clothes on.

Until Thursday responded to Eat Me! the UK’s boldest and brightest food newsletter call for two intrepid explorers to join its International Food Writing Team. You are invited to share the results of our two erroneous food critics as they reveal the truth...that taste runs deeper than whether you like your eggs over-easy or whether you like your coffee with milk or cream…
