This was fun. Myself and Sophie Fetokaki created four performances of an extended version of Samuel Beckett's Quad in public spaces and car parks around Huddersfield over a period of two weeks. Some with an audience, some with no audience. Sophie later presented this performance on at the Huddersfield festival - not that you would guess I had anything to do with it from reading the programme notes...

ROCK PAPER SCISSORS was a concert series by Inlets Ensemble exploring strategies for creating music with non-musical objects. Held at Audiotheque in Miami Beach during the summer of 2015, each concert focused on one object—rocks, paper or scissors—and featured a program of historical and contemporary works.

"Let us imagine getting old and instead of dying and being buried, we choose to be send in space forever. One way ticket to space. We could still communicate with our family and friends on Earth, but at the same time we would get further and further away from them. Till our time is over. 10 years? 20? 50? Our last experience would be of an endless universe."
Winner of the OFF prize at the Przegląd Piosenki Aktorskiej Festival in Wrocław, Poland.
