MAKE extends Peake's interests in the performative nature of making object-based artwork, particularly sculpture. It is also informed by a growing interest in Minimalism and Conceptual art movements and in the 'great' masculine heroes of these canons, Richard Serra, Donald Judd, Carl Andre. MAKE will play with the traditional reverence towards and god-like status of the artist/sculptor as author, deconstructing its status while the actions and processes that accumulate and manifest within a sculpture are exposed and highlighted. Conceived and created by Florence Peake, MAKE has been commissioned by Yorkshire Sculpture Park with funding from Arts Council England and is co-produced by Dance Art Foundation. Assistant Choreographer Katye Coe, performers Iris Chan, Kathy Crick, Rachel Gildea, Margarita Zafrilla Olayo, Amaara Raheem, Susanna Recchia, Nikki Tomlinson, Rosalie Wahlfrid will be joined by a wider cast at Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Easter Weekend, Saturday 7 April 2012.

SCHOOL OF CHANGE : The Recruitment : Camden Arts Centre 17 December 2011
Artist Jennet Thomas and composer/performer Simon Bookish present a live show exploring a hybrid, cross-over space between art, film, music, speculative fiction and performance, including a recruitment presentation, songs, film clips, lessons, a quiz and prizes. Performers include Frances Scott, Catherine Thomas and Nikki Tomlinson alongside Jennet Thomas and Simon Bookish.
SCHOOL OF CHANGE is a new franchise of girls' schools, existing in a post-apocalyptic future, so radical it threatens the working of reason itself. SCHOOL OF CHANGE attempts to shore up against this breakdown, to educate a new generation to adapt, building an alternative ‘hive mind’ that has a new, stronger kind of logic.
Each student’s learning is bio-technically monitored and assessed through the Personal Circle lodged inside them. High-scoring pupils perform their learning through a rhythmic song and action practise: ‘the Production’. This trance-like group activity produces small solids - Units of Knowing – the currency through which the new economy tries to function.
The first SCHOOL OF CHANGE open day will take place at Camden Arts Centre on Saturday 17th December 2011. ENROL NOW! Booking here
Jennet Thomas' forthcoming exhibition SCHOOL OF CHANGE will be at Matts Gallery in London in spring 2012.

Rosemary Lee, Square Dances
8-9 October 2011, Dance Umbrella, London WC1
Square Dances is a new work commissioned and presented by Dance Umbrella performed across four squares in central London. Like migrating birds arriving as unexpectedly as they disperse, up to 200 dancers of all ages will fleetingly animate these quiet atmospheric spaces in an epic yet intimate way.
Audiences can choose to journey between the squares to see all four dances or enjoy a single one. Each distinctive event will be accompanied by the resonant sound of live bells ranging from a single toll to a specially commissioned score by Terry Mann.
Rosie Lee's Square Dances will be performed 6 times on Saturday 8 October and again on Sunday 9 October - beautiful squares near London Uni including Gordon, Woburn, Brunswick and Queen. It's free, no tickets, just turn up, but bring a brolly if it looks ominous as we will be dancing come what may.
