irritation or the latest faddish therapy, because Adrienne promises to penetrate you deeper and harder, and
guarantees to put the freshness back into your whiter

genuine interaction with an audience, including; Adrienne¹s Living Room, Adrienne's Dancing Room and Adrienne:

Adrienne's Dirty Laundry Experience was commissioned by the Arches Theatre, Glasgow and first seen there as part of Glasgay! 2003.


Bobby Baker's Spoon Feeding

In Spoon Feeding, Bobby Baker created a unique and rare opportunity to regress back and experience the delights and horrors of infancy, the audience were invited onto the performers lap to be spoon fed. An intimate and tender act of compliance. A generous and fulfilling gesture.

Devised by Bobby Baker, the piece was performed by Bobby's longterm collaborator, Sian Stevenson.

Bobby Baker's Biog; Performance artist Bobby Baker explores issues through art and performance which radically affect our daily lives. Subject matter ranges through health, shopping and motherhood, seemingly mundane subjects which are explored in an idiosyncratic and innovative performance style. The work is performed in a wide range of spaces from theatres to kitchens.

She also carried out research into How to Live in collaboration with psychologist Dr Richard Hallam after being awarded a prestigious research grant from SciArt at the Wellcome Trust. How to Live premiered at the Barbican Theatre, London in November 2004, with sold-out performances and great critical acclaim. How to Live will be touring nationally and abroad from June 2005. www.bobbybakersdailylife.com

Jenny Jones' Coffee Morning

Jenny Jones warmly invites you and your child to a Coffee Morning. This space of leisure and domestic comfort provides the opportunity for a reworking of a traditional social engagement which explores the volatility of maternal
subjectivity and artistic identity. Offering hot beverages and homemade cakes, the artist also offers the space to sift through the grounds of what is unrepresented from the margins of maternal experience. Upending the familiar, the table will flood with images of disorientation from disability to drugs to doodling; from holding life to life being on hold.

Biog: Jenny Jones trained in Fine Art, Art Therapy and Feminist Visual Art Theory. She lives in London, has a six year old child and is a lecturer in Critical and Theoretical Studies at Croydon College. Her work encompasses
installation, live art, digital media and painting. In 2000 she exhibited at "Polar Circuit" in Rovaniemi, Lapland and at the Freud Museum and Catalyst Arts with "Fold. Newspaper of the Unconscious". In 2003/4 her work was featured at the Phoenix Gallery, Brighton and ARTCONCEPT, St Petersburg. She has written for make, Convergence, and n.paradoxa and written and co-edited "Art Therapy, Race and Culture"(Jessica Kingsley Publishing)
