[Live] Art Club presents Holy Smoke
“Atmospheric, cheekily humorous, and (ultimately) mesmerising.” Across the Arts. A gang of hyper-present beings occupy a mystic underworld, seeking answers to life’s big existential questions. Wrapped up in a cosmic sonic blanket, these weirdos go pro in this trip into the unknown. The performance space becomes an alternative reality with dark energies, roaming spirits, occult rituals and loads of smoke.

Bobby Baker: Drawing on a (Grand) Mother’s Experience
Legendary performance artist Bobby Baker first performed Drawing on a Mother’s Experience in 1988 as a 38 year old mother of two. A commentary on domesticity, the performance is based on Baker’s first eight years of motherhood and explores her fascination with the role and belief that it is largely undervalued by society. Now a grandmother to two granddaughters, and as determined a feminist as ever, Baker revisits her seminal work to highlight the subject, still relevant 27 years after her first performance. Bringing the production up to date, the piece offers a timely reflection on motherhood from an older and wiser vantage point.
