We Move in Close Circles, a performance for homes

We are currently touring We Move in Close Circles, a performance made with Sam Pardes and Orley Quick. The work takes place in people’s homes, and responds to a widespread culture of over-hosting and weaponised care.

Swan Song, a performance for studios

We are (slowly) finishing making Swan Song, a collaboration with playwright Andy Edwards. Taking the form of a lo-fi script-reading, this “big new play” splices Chekhovian grandeur with sci-fi epic.

Demonology, an artist book

“Directing loving kindness at everyone is the same as feeling nothing! Baseline, baby!”

In 2020 we began to make a series of small linoprint demons. They are studies in malice, weariness, angst, fragility, rage, neediness, and narcissism. These demons started to travel around the world, by post, and collected writing from twenty friends of ours – artists, poets and performers.

We are now compiling these texts into a handmade book, a Demonology. It is a book of demonic wisdom: playful and unsettling thought that reflects on our most unflattering feeling, and cuts to the ugly heart of what it means to live with oneself and others.

Better Out Than In, an archival book

In 2023 we marked our tenth year of working together. To document this decade of collaborative practice, we started making a book to expose and preserve many of our mistakes.

Alongside a sprawling array of unflattering archival materials, Better Out Than In will feature a number of original texts through which we will reflect on inter-disciplinary and infra-institutional practice, and how we have gone about maintaining our long-term relationship. These materials from our own practice will sit alongside invited reflections (and grievances) from our community of peers, mentors and collaborators.
