Salon 11
 Helena Goldwater
 'Not Tonight Darling, I'm washing my hair'

 February 23, 2001

 The audience was witness to a night-in,
 avoiding an unwelcome date through the
 washing of one's hair in the bath, but as one
 joined Helena one-on-one in the bathroom it is
 obvious that there is more to this legendary
 activity than at first meets the eye. This was
 a performance installation exploring
 autoeroticism, through a pleasurable activity
 of the everyday. A performer of rare wit and
 humour Helena explores the intimate rituals of
 the home. Helen Goldwater makes
 predominately solo performances for a
 diversity of venues including clubs, galleries,
 site-specific spaces and theatres, and has
 shown internationally since 1989.
