He builds a raft to spend time sitting in a loch. Drives a beat-up jeep to pick up wood supplies. He is seen in all seasons, surviving frugally, passing the time with strange projects, living the radical dream he had as a younger man, a dream he spent two years working at sea to realise." |

Rosas (Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker) — En Atendant
Sadlers Wells 5 November 2012 "Performed by eight dancers, three musicians and one singer, represents continuing exploration of how music and dance work together, using Ars Subtilior as a starting point. A complex form of 14th century polyphony based on dissonance and contrast, Ars Subtilior was developed in the aftermath of plague and religious conflict in Europe and is cleverly used here to reflect the chaos of our own time." |

Georgie Meadows: Stitched Drawings
Welcome Trust 18 October - 11 November 2012 "The works present a collision of tight-knotted threads and loose stuffing, of softness and jagged edges. Meadows’ concern with the primacy of visual communication in the act of caring, when logic and speech are often elusive, gives the portraits a meditative empathy, with the confusions of illness set beside the kindness held in the simple and reflective acts of looking and seeing." |
