Mamoru Iriguchi at Plateaux, Mousonturm

I am working as outside eye/dramaturg with Mamoru Iriguchi on his new performance Into the Skirt. Into the Skirt has been commissioned by Plateaux Festival at Künstlerhaus Mousonturm, Frankfurt and will be shown there on 1 and 2 May 2010. This work is also supported by BAC and Camden Peoples Theatre, where early stages of the work were developed.

PLATEAUX is an international production festival for young artists in the field of experimental theatre, performance and live-art. Initiated by KÜNSTLERHAUS Mousonturm, the festival aims to promote new experimental forms of performance by providing them with a professional platform. The festival offers beside the production budgets, technical and artistic advice, rehearsal residencies and connections into international networks. PLATEAUX produces once a year up to seven new productions to be premiered in the 10 day festival.

From Morning : 27 May

From Morning is curated by Florence Peake and brings the work of six artists to Hawksmoor's Christ Church Spitalfields in London on Thursday 27 May. New and adapted works by Katye Coe, Joe Moran, Florence Peake and Sally Dean, and Nikki Tomlinson and Hannah Marshall, will inhabit distinct spaces in the church and find new resonances with its architecture. From Morning invites audiences to encounter work in the intimate altar and crypt, the vast nave, and aerially, from the heights of the upper gallery. Performances will be presented 3 times in one day; at 9am, 1pm and dusk, reflecting traditional prayer times while addressing questions of body, mind, time and space.

The full programme is available at frommorning.blogspot.com
From Morning is generously supported by Christ Church Spitalfields and its arts & events curator, Lisa Raine-Hunt.

All Suffering SOON TO END!

Jennet Thomas' solo show at Matts Gallery in London opens 14 April and runs through to 6 June 2010.
It's a Pick of the Week in the Guardian this week.

"A comicbook hero-cum-evangelist named the Purple Preacher, blessed with the power of persuasion, works some unusual seduction techniques in Jennet Thomas's debut film installation at Matt's Gallery. Rubber Adam and Eve dolls, garage gigs and an outing to a model village are all part of his charm offensive. This blend of dream logic, bizarre shaggy-dog-story repetitions and anarchic fizz is typical territory for the London-based artist who co-founded the pioneering Exploding Cinema Collective in the early 90s. Her interests are grounded in regular human foibles and the everyday pitfalls of belief systems, so as much as a wild plunge into the absurd, Thomas shows just how bizarre ordinary life can be." Skye Sherwin, The Guardian Guide
