Jane Foole is comprised of six artists.
They met at various stages of their artists journey.
Since then they have been fashioning an overdone piece of elaborate
entertainment, a selection box, alchemy.
We swing in differing stages of performance art.

This one is a special edition event that speaks to the theme of nature and the ecosystem

Curated by: Rachel Lonsdale, Max Melvin and Sarah Athina Nahas

Guest curator: Siin Lee

Tickets are £4

Pit of the waters tongue is about the dissolving boundaries between all life on earth. It centres on the idea written by Daisy Hildyard in her book The Second Body that “To be an animal is to be in possession of a physical body, a body which can eat, drink and sleep; it is also to be embedded within a worldwide network of ecosystems”. This idea of tapping into the intangible presents an art form which is its own document and has parallels with the ecosystem.

Orisun Productions

ORISUN PRODUCTIONS SPINGBOARD

Seven monologues. Seven actors. One theme.

A theatre company that provides a platform for creatives from the African diaspora, with the specific aim of breaking down stereotypes.

For their launch show they selected a series of monologues all loosely connected by a single theme: spring; new beginnings – an echo of our name. Why monologues? Small, yet perfectly formed, monologues are a powerful way to connect with an audience.

Curated by the legendary Anton Phillips, the performance showcased the work of established and emerging writing talent from across the world; performed by some of London’s newest and most exciting actors. It challenged, delighted & entertained.
