Unperforming has been teetering on the edge of comedy and live art for ten years, appearing at venues across the country including Milton Keynes Arts Centre and Artsadmin. This special edition brings together longtime collaborators Louise Ashcroft and Fritha Jenkins, who have been working with The Newbridge Project, to join forces with artists in the North East to create an evening of comic possibilities, humour and performance.
Don’t be late for this one-time-fun-time evening packed wet with beach rockings, stone beards, hairobics, blow drying popsicles, indecisive social posings and much much more!
Louise Ashcroft is an artist who tells funny stories through video, performance, radio, bad watercolours and sculpture. Her TEDx talk ‘Shopping and Subversion’ is available online, and she has made several ‘Boring Talks’ for BBC Sounds.
Fritha Jenkins makes performance, film and video, music, digital platforms, sound and sculpture.. They’ve made and performed artwork in parks, along rivers, in universities, community centres, hospitals, care homes, kitchens, schools and theatres.
