“I BELONG TO THIS BAND!” – is a shifting collective who meet to perform somewhere between folk and live art. We’re trying to build a national network of performers, forty, fifty, sixty strong, for a tour of village halls in 2012.  “This Band!” has been commissioned by BAC (2010) and Greenroom (2011).

WE HOPE THAT YOU’RE HAPPY (WHY WOULD WE LIE?) – Jess and Chris claim to be lifelong friends. But they also claim each other are liars. And that they are eyewitnesses to the majority of the key world events of the last hundred years. A flat-out unhinged very normal performance about trying to relate and connect: to the person next to us and to the unknown victim of a televised tragedy. Featuring a cooler full of beer and icecream, a preposterous repeated dance routine, two kilos of flour and a lot of ketchup.

Made In China make visceral shows at the junction of playwriting and live art. Made In China was founded by Tim Cowbury (writer & deviser), and Jessica Latowicki (performer & deviser). Other collaborators include Marianne Dicker (producer), Chris Bailey (performer), Eva Brandt (musician/composer) and Gudmundur Thorvaldsson (performer). They are currently based in London.

Using our collective cinematic language, Bannon explores this very particular art form where the chase scene, the sex scene and the bit where the door is kicked off it’s hinges can all be conjured with party poppers, bits of wood and lots of vegetables. This perfectly poised performance plays with homemade sound effects, imagination and good old-fashioned suspense to create a world where your ears can’t believe what they are seeing.

Jo Bannon is a UK artist making live art and performance. She is an Arnolfini associate artist and founder member of Residence. She has presented work nationally and internationally in the UK, Spain and Germany.
