Goodbye Series

Documentation of Goodbyes Never End performance at Cookhouse Gallery in July 2017

The character starring in the 'Goodbye' series has been heavily influenced by two genres relating to theatre: cabaret and musical theatre. The 'Goddbye' character was designed to have the appearance of a gender-queer mourner, grieving the potential loss of certain rights and other legislations due to the political uncertainty in current day Britain linked to Brexit.

This two-part performance was performed in two different contexts: ill Arts/Therapy Room - an experimental live art event in a disused building and I will hold your gaze -a fine art exhibition held in a Cookhouse gallery. What tied the performances together was the combination of the dramatic spectacle seen in musical theatre and cabaret, rendered with the subtle enactment of contemporary live art.
