| Night
Bus |
| Three
bus stations. Hull, Nottingham, London. Three familiar long
nights that fall apart as strange, unexpected things begin to
happen. A gesture held too long, a bag of shopping dropped,
a group of teenagers dressed in school disco uniform. The place
for cheap travel, or a stage to play out numerous dramas. The
bus station as portal, lacuna, a no-place, a transition between
destinations. |

| Tide |
| Changes
in the fields of gravity. Altering states in the cosmos. Tide
is a “live” experience controlled by the movement of the earth
and moon around the sun. A gravity meter measures the changing
gravitational pull. Three rotating glass sculptures resonate
and sing with the changes of the tide. |

| The
Wilderbeest Lounge |
| Isn’t
it funny, time? And have you ever wondered how you get here,
from where you started? A performance
made and performed by two friends of 20 year’s standing, Wildebeest
Lounge is a piece about men, place and history. Neil McCarthy
and Gary Carter trained together as actors in the South Africa
of the early 80’s. Since then their lives have intertwined in
random and spooky ways, both becoming key players in the worldwide
TV phenomena that is Big Brother. Reunited on stage after 20
years, Wildebeest Lounge brings together two old friends in
a clear eyed meeting in the cold light of the present day. |

Day one. The night shift experiment started.
We documented our sleep patterns, our twitches and turns, our
stirrings in the night, our waking moments and our memories
of sleep. We slept for twelve hours. We spent the entire night
awake. We walked the city. We drove 470 miles through the night.
Day 427. Nottingham sees the results of the research so far. |
