####More
In Hollywood films, shower scenes are used to provide some completely unnecessary (usually female) nudity and/or heighten a sex or horror scene. Reversing the roles of cinematic spectatorship, participants are invited to relinquish their usual voyeuristic position, and take on the role of the one that is viewed; the naked and vulnerable.
You will be wet, naked (and alone) in this piece.

####Works Ahead:Interactions
A journey around the hidden spaces of a theatre - one monumental installation, three intimate encounters…
October 2011 saw an extraordinary coming together of over 30 artists in a day-long maze of performance: emergency accommodation. Two whole buildings resonated with small exchanges, moving installations and intriguing conversations, punctuated by naked encounters and full-blown performances. Recapturing that spirit of adventure, Works Ahead invites a group of the most intriguing emergency accommodation artists to develop and present their work in a takeover of Contact Space 1.
