Join us in the ArtsOne foyer on Saturday 16 June 2018 from 4pm to see the performance and art work of our Drama alumni who return for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Xinyue Zhang
In-Visible Cities
G.03
In the white cube of studio, the city is invisible, but can be seen in many ways.
Laura Bradley and Drew Egan (A-Kin)
Manipulated Labour
Film and Drama Studio
An exploration of individual and dual identities through the presentation of struggle in the physicalisation of emotional labour. A collaborative work in progress by a queer, feminist couple; performance artist Laura Bradley and experimental audio and visual artist Drew Egan (A-Kin).
Anna Dean
Gaze Prism
Film Studio
Anna Dean is a feminist performer, artist, and writer, working the dialectics of gender and (e)motion. Gaze Prism 1:11:22 addresses the tension between voyeurism and self-reflection.
Refracting the gaze between her live, reflected, and projected body, Dean occupies this gaze in order to claim autonomy in her own image —a gaze that is as much about herself as about the spectator.
Dani Surname
Tell the truth but tell it slant
RR2 ALL-DAY
Celebrating the people I’ve worked with through QM and contemplating how performance, photography and truth are slippery – an exhibition of performance photography featuring QM students, graduates and lecturers.
Helena Banerjee
The Cicada Sighs
Pinter Studio
A smol cicada sits in the leaves. It bends at the knees. The Sisyphean task of a squawk and a scream (Poor smol cicada, will you ever be free?)
Maria Pullicino
Stand-Up
Pinter Studio
Observational comedy about the upcoming trump protest from an American-British dual citizen.
Livvy Lynch
Big Bird
Pinter Studio
An audio-visual work-in-progress exploring human as animal – specifically, woman as pigeon.
Andrew Bourne
The Sofa Surfer’s Guide To Graduation
Pinter Studio
Conceived in the back room of a Morrison’s café amidst a mountain of dirty dishes; No it’s not my life story, but a handy dandy pocket sized guide to living your best (ish) graduate life.
Francesca and Matilda
Mother of Expectations
Film and Drama Studio
Invented and measured by man. Swimming constantly, reaching for the surface whilst trying to stay afloat. What are we doing with our lives?
Emily Howarth
Dumped
Film and Drama Studio
‘Dumped’ is a one woman, musical, comedy shit-storm about the first time your heart gets smashed into a million tiny pieces, and the songs that make you feel less alone with your crazy, crazy break-up thoughts.
Red Hot Frizz
The Bevdel Test
Film and Drama Studio
Using different beverages as a catalyst, Red Hot Frizz explore the stages and experiences of female friendship. From capri-suns to vodka, join us on our quest to uncover its importance.
Conall Borowski
The after-party
Film and Drama Studio
The essence of The after party is a performer reading texts over music then filing it away. It is an after party for a party that didn’t happen, it is an after party for all the parties that have happened.
Luke Higgins
When it rains, I bore
Pinter Studio
A short excerpt from a work-in-progress piece of live art. In this second performance as DJ Earthworm I will construct ‘a happening’ using the experiences of teaching children growing up in the big smoke.
MEGANDALEX
A fifteen-minute sketch
Pinter Studio
This is a fifteen-minute sketch. We’re very proud to present a fifteen- minute sketch.
Justin Bieber
Justin Time for Christmas
Pinter Studio
He’s a young, international pop sensation and he wants you to join him for one intimate, festive evening.
Chloe Borthwick is a performance artist and drag king whose current work delights in celebrity fandom and queer fantasy.
Ema Boswood
Ema Boswood Retrospective
Pinter Studio
Ema Boswood is making her much anticipated return to Queen Mary, this time to re-enact selected segments of her previous works: from pre-uni (including exerts from her teenage diary) to during uni (some of the cringiest things to have ever graced the Pinter stage) to post uni (her acclaimed performance Ghost Sexxx) to WHATEVER’S NEXT!
She’s written this summary before she’s made this piece, so who tf knows tbh.
