Case for Optimism
2012 Events
LONDON
18th October at Artsadmin, Toynbee Studios
Artsadmin hosted this event at Toynbee Studios, East London that featured new performance work including:
Nic Green's Slowlo fresh from Vienna and Inbetween Time's Up to Nature Festival. Slowlo is a response to a year of living quietly in the Scottish countryside. It seeks to unveil the wild being, the woman. Putting to test the belief that humans are at the centre of the universe, and drawing parallels between the taming of nature and the nature of woman, as night falls Green releases from within – uncensored, uncultivated and unfiltered – La Loba, the wolf woman.
A preview of Sarah Woods and Richard Gott’s latest work. A very human and often hilarious journey through time, 'The Roadless Trip' is an urgent and irresistible invitation to imagine and create a positive future. Mixing performance, presentation, audience interaction and games, this was one of the highlights of September's recent Emergence Summit conference at the Centre for Alternative Technology. Featuring interviews with Sir John Houghton, Caroline Lucas, Sir Partha Dasgupta, Roman Krznaric and Andrew Curry. (An Emergence/Eginiad commission supported by Arts Council Wales.)
