Sun Dogs Performance Final Cut

Thank you so much for all thier hard work and dedication

Sun Dogs Performance a collaborational, multimedia, site-specific performance. The piece will reinterpret through the use of Butoh, a mashup of the Sun Dance ceremony & Legend of the Raven Catching the Sun of the North American Natives. Using the human body as a projection surface to reflect and distort light this piece will create a visual dialogue between the dancers’ bodies. The soundscape will have live Middle Eastern drumming.

Prayer Flag Project

Come and be involved with a truly global, communal and collaborative project!
I am devising an installation that will use elements from the Sundance Ceremony of the Native North Americans.
Taking inspiration from the idea of prayer bundles, central to this ceremony, as well as Tibetan prayer flags, both of which are used by the cultures to pray for the well-being of their communities. I plan to ask people from all walks of life and every country to get involved by making their own personal prayer flag.
The idea is that it can be decorated in any way, with a message or a picture containing some pearl of wisdom or even a prayer. They can be sewn, printed, painted or whatever takes your fancy.
So spread the word lets see how far afield we can involve people with this project!
Please use a square piece of fabric, roughly measuring eight inches by eight inches. Use any scrap of fabric, maybe even from an old shirt or pair of trousers! Let’s be environmentally aware and green about it.
Once you have completed the pieces of fabric and sent them to me, I will incorporate them into a mural based on a ‘Tree of Life’.
The idea is to make this a truly global piece of work. Once you have finished it please send it to the address below:

‘Performance to Camera’, Moving image art installations by two leading contemporary practitioners to highlight the theme of performance to camera. Last pic is an original evening dress worn by Margot Fonteyn after a triumphant performance in 1949. Also Bill Gibb, British fashion designer from the 70s, and ‘Dresses from History’,Queen Victoria’s day dress, How short was she? The museum has had a big switch around and there wasn’t much period costume on display hence the new name 'Fashion Museum' instead of the old 'Costume Museum', shame.

Don’t Feel Free

WCA Lectre Theatre, Merton Hall Rd, Wimbledon, SW19 3PR, Solo Performance Written & Devised by Martina Sacchetti, MA VLP, 6pm I really liked this performance very minimal set, simple, well rehearsed & executed interaction of the projections and the live body . Martinas’ voice sounded much older and had a dream like quality to it, very calming also really liked the music she was talking over. Fantastic
