curious : the moment I saw you I knew I could love you
Friday 2nd October 5-8pm
Leslie Hill and Helen Paris will be offering up a series one to one and some to some experiences as work in progress for their new performance installation The Moment I saw you I knew I could love you. Developed with the support of a Welcome Trust Arts Award and featuring film and soundscapes made in collaboration with Andrew Kotting and Graeme Miller, the piece navigates a jagged terrain of guts and gut feelings. Curious will be premiering the work in London in November 2009, so this is a chance to see the work at an early stage of development.
6 slots starting on each half hour for 6 people (5pm, 5.30pm, 6pm etc.)
36 people in total can take part
Audience can come anytime between 5– 8pm

Action Hero: A Western
Saturday 4th October 8pm – 9.30pm
We want to make a Western. We have a cowboy hat and some ketchup. Everyone will have a moustache. All the bad guys laugh. Dust blows across a deserted street.
Music.
Together with our audience we reclaim this chaotic half-arsed Western as our own and celebrate the failure of generic heroes, cheap whores and the all American idol.
Action Hero are Bristol-based artists making live art and performance.
