After seven months of making 25 stratford grove warm, comfortable and good to be living in, Im ready to start having artists make work, stay over, research new projects and any number of other endeavours they are considering.
I am in the process of putting in an application to Arts Council North East for some money to take six artists to Istanbul in March 2008. I was commissioned to curate part of a festival of live art there, following a piece of performance I made for Galataperform in November 2007.
Its a great opportunity to create both solo performances and hopefully a collaboration.
I will post photos of our pre-performance meetings and of the event itself, so you can keep up to date with 25 stratford grove.
Best wishes and a happy new year to all you performance artists and others out there!
