This weekend sees me traveling to Venice (for the first time) to give a performance lecture for Co creation Live Factory with the theme Dissenting Bodies Marking Time. It’s such a delight to anticipate the artists I will meet some leading the workshops and others participating.

Of late I’ve been having dialogies with Gemma Jones and with Becky O’Brien but I have met neither in person which I am looking forward to doing. And as always La Pocha Nostra who hold the beacons which has been leading and inspiring me since my earliest days as an artist. Marilyn Arsem as well, an extraodinary artist whose practice astonishes me.

Other guest artists are Boris Nieslony, Helen Cole & Alex Bradley, Francesco Kiàis, Fenia Kotsopoulou, Joseph Morgan Schofield, Marcel Sparmann.

The invitation has been extended by Vest & Page, whose kindness, practice, commitment and verve are exemplary. I met them in Riga for the first time last June and was utterly charmed by their vision and tremendous dedication.
