unjulation

Mission Statement Having been involved with communication of both the external and internal in several forms and medias ranging from fine art and installation to street performance and full blown theatre work for over 14 years I have gained a solid grounding and understanding within how we communicate and receive information both as individuals and as groups. Through this I have come to the conclusion that the ways most of these art forms are shown have a tendency to “talk to the converted” as it were. This in tern dictates who sees the work and who gets to show there work. Leading on from this I decide to mix my experiences of mid eighties festivals and the traveller “do-it-yourself” attitude with my experience of theatre arts and performance. Initially these first experiments were similar to the “Mutoid waste Co”, “test dept” and the “welfare state international”. Later these forms of communication were linked with the the growing scene of 4/4 beat based experience. The space that was created within these raves was one of such openness, both internally and externally that it opened all sorts of possibilities in which to show both my own and others art that would not normally be given, creating a space to shown our work to our peers. It basically gave us a gallery space without the usual difficulties associated with such spaces. Over the years this experimentation has shown it’s self in many ways from 15ft puppets, u.v. shows, live performance, three day festivals, 16mm direct animation loops, strobeing slides, circus skills, community arts, v.j./d.j. workshops, theatre in education, fund raising for several charities and finally digital v.j.’ing. The one thing that all this has shown me is the fact that you can do it for your self, that as an individual and as groups we can empower ourselves and create these “safe spaces” in which we as individuals can explore our understanding of the internal and external reality, if that is your wish or just kick back and enjoy the experience, getting a well deserved rest from reality 1987-1989: Street theatre, Environmental sculpture, Arts and Crafts, Community skill sharing festivals, free festivals 1989-1990: Raven/Riley Theatre:-Stage management, stage/lighting design and construction Beowulf: - Community theatre, concept/organisation, directing, script writing 1990-1991: The Tree: - Community/Street Theatre, club performance, Glastonbury arts festival 1992-1993: Junction47:- Party organization, environmental transformation, costume based performance 1994-1996: Project X: - Party organisation, environmental transformation, costume based performance, lighting/slide, fund raising Orchardton house: - Three day dance festival Scotland, organisation, sculpture, decoration, and lighting 1997-1999: Glowbalistic: - Party organisation, environmental transformation, lighting, 16mm/slide projection, fund raising Oochie: - live p.a. stage/lighting design and construction, costume based u.v. show, 16mm/slide projection Sid Fox/Cabbage/Riff Raff: - occasional lighting, 16mm/slide projection, lasers Oblong studios: - fund raising, lighting, 16mm/slide projections 1999-Present: Nomadz: - Party organisation, lighting, 16mm/slide projection, computerised V.J.’ing, environmental transformation V.J. workshop
