RED APE
Thursday 21 January, 8.30pm – 10pm
At Mills Bakery, Royal William Yard

Saturday 23 January, 10.30pm – 12.30am
At Plymouth Arts Centre

RED APE, curated by Mark Greenwood, presents guerilla performances by Alastair MacLennan, Mark Greenwood and Bean, Leo Devlin, Ula Dajerling, Sinead O’Donnell, Roddy Hunter and gyrl grip (Lisa Newman and Llewyn Maire). RED APE is an ongoing enquiry into the relationship between duration and live performance.

LOW PROFILE
LOW PROFILE present the newest part of their ongoing project DRY RUN in a specially produced (and slightly secretive) intervention during the symposium. LOW PROFILE is collaboration between artists Rachel Dobbs and Hannah Jones. They have been working in collaboration since 2003 to make live art, performances and associated ephemera. They are currently based in Plymouth, UK.

Walk the Walls
Midnight Friday 22 January
until noon Saturday 23 January

Persighetti and Whitehead invite you on a 6km slow walk through the city of Plymouth following the zigzag route of a scaled-down mapping of the Great Wall of China. The walk refers to the 1988 performance by Marina Abramović and Ulay walking the 6,000km Great Wall of China from opposite ends. You can join them at any point, register to take part by phoning 01752 206 114. Their position will be posted live at http://walkthewalls.tumblr.com/

8 1/2 PG
Marina Abramović’s film choice

2 February, 5.30pm, Plymouth Arts Centre
Director. Federico Fellini, Italy, 1963,
137 mins, subtitled. Cast. Marcello Mastroianni, Anouk Aimee, Claudia Cardinale.

Voted the 3rd best film of all time by the British Film Institute, Marcello Mastroianni stars as Anselmi, a famous Italian film director who is suffering from ‘director’s block’. 81/2 is a film about the struggles involved in the creative process.

Underground PG
Marina Abramović’s film choice

2 February, 8.15pm, Plymouth Arts Centre
Director: Emir Kusturica, Yugoslavia, 1995,
160 mins, subtitled. Cast: Miki Manojlovic,
Lazar Ristovski, Mirjana Jakovic.

Underground is a wildly ambitious, energetic, tragic-comic allegory for the history of Yugoslavia. The boisterous spirit and comic exuberance of the film make it a delirious satire that is darkly hilarious even at its saddest moments.
