 As part of Alister's work with Two Destination Language, he's performing in Chester on 21st and 22nd October. It's an exciting piece about identity and travel, dealing with boundaries and change through a journey with one of the performers and an audio soundtrack. The piece follows the story of young woman's hopes and dreams meeting the machinery of international airports.

The showing of The Eye of the Beholder in Manchester as part of emergency accommodation was very successful. We had great feedback from participants and audience. 
"such tender moments with people finally allowing themselves to be free"
"thoroughly enjoyable"
"a strange moment of clarity, unease and intensity that I will certainly remember"

We're excited to have been selected for another performance festival. A new piece in collaboration with Katherina Radeva, A Journey of A Home is a one-on-one performance walk incorporating audio. It explores ideas of home and travel around a tale where a young woman's hopes and dreams meet the machinery of international airports. This work will premiere at Chester's Up The Wall festival, where audience will be taken on a guided walk of the castle grounds. Each audience member has a strong connection to the performer they walk with, as we reflect on homes and the journeys our aspirations take us on. Performances will take place on 21 and 22 October; for more information on Up The Wall, see www.chesterperforms.com.

Work has begun over the summer on workshopping ideas with collaborator Katherina Radeva for a new piece about water. We've got a few possibilities in mind and will let you know when you can see the first work-in-progress showings. Our joint investigation into ideas about 'home' is also underway, while {digame} is working on ideas about bodies and the relationships between performers and their audience. |

Burning Black from Alister Lownie on Vimeo.
Radeva & Lownie's Burning Black was performed at the University of Winchester's Arts Centre on 3 May to launch the Arts and Wellbeing Research Centre's Embodying Memory symposium. A variety of performances and reflections on what the body retains and the struggle towards health and happiness were presented through the evening, including information about Platform4's project with Alzheimer's sufferers, the social impact of street arts, performative reflections on living with commercialisation of the arts and Debbie Lee-Anthony's dance and poetry performance dealing with her own body history. Further information is available on the University's website.
