15 minute factory gets the royal treatment

15 minute factory – London’s favourite music and performance party – is leaving its workhouse past behind and heading to the Queen of Hoxton for an all-day Summer session on Sunday 18th July.

Expect the best new music and outrageous performance art in stunning surroundings with 50 artists spread across 3 floors, a roof terrace complete with ukeaoke pergola, one-to-one encounters, a barbecue and a cornucopia of cupcakes.

15 minute factory is an event like no other. Celebrating acts that blur the boundaries between performance, art and music, it brings together the intimacy of a house party, the edginess of an art happening and the mayhem of a warehouse mash-up.

With a line-up of live music, film, djs, vjs, roaming performers, interactive installation, performance art, stand-up and acoustic bliss, Sunday never sounded so good.

Music: Jack Majik

Freethought is the idea that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, not be influenced by authority, tradition, or any other dogma. Through the easily-understood accessible art medium of pop music I aim to inform people more truthfully of the society we are all a part of. Lies. Money. Slavery. Control. Religion. Hate.

I provide the information. You decide what to do with it.

Revolutions projected video art with live soundtrack performance

www.myspace.com/abstinenceandsensibility

Performance: Phil Burton & Craig Cameron-Fisher – Two's A Crowd

A taste of a new twist on the comedy double act: where a veritable crowd of characters cross and interact with one another in a variety of character-driven sketches; ranging from the intellectual, to the satirical, to the saucy, to the surreal, to the downright silly.

Performance: Nic Chalmers - Between My Face and the Wall

Between My Face And The Wall is an immersive one-woman show, written and performed by Nic Chalmers, with design and dramaturgy by Kate Temple. Set inside a house of proliferating rooms, Between My Face And The Wall is a shape-shifting little beast of a tale: a fragile assemblage of horses, houses and horticulture.

Performance: Dummy Company - Glossia

Dummy Company present a fragment from their new project, Glossia, a series of performances that explore the miscegenation of voices and objects in a series of sound poems, puppet shows, totemic rituals and other less definable acts of ventriloquism.

http://dummycompany.blogspot.com

Performance: Jamie Lewis Hadley - this rose made of leather

this rose made of leather employs repetition as a strategy to expose spectator’s willingness to observe a violent and destructive act. My interest is in examining and testing the moral, physical and emotional contract between spectator and performer. I consider this contract to be most volatile when blood is drawn. (Contains bloodwork / body fluid 18+)

www.jamielewishadley.co.uk

Performance: Infinite Dance Company - Size Zero

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuKJy16jIGo

Performance Installation: Beatrice Jarvis - Passing the Space of Time

To walk the city. To walk the hills. To walk the chalk pit; to see and be seen; to perceive and to be perceived.

To disappoint and command expectation through the weight of each step.

The body as it stands still occupies and consumes space; it formulates a spatial code which conducts and enquires.

The weight of breath as it is pushed through the solid heavy air that engulfs.

I stood. Still on a hill top. The wind consumes my body. It took it and allowed it to rest. I stood for what seemed like years; willing the wind the hold me still. A gaze cast to the sea, feet cemented in the heather field. I watched. The land form took passages of flight; the sand dunes erupted in imminent storms; a passage only of stillness.

I continued to stand.

Performance: Kesha Krutskikh - A Watched Pot

A Watched Pot is a short adaptable performance by Kesha Krutskikh exploring protracted duration, playfulness and miscommunication. Kesha develops characters and the worlds in which they exist, a brand of honest theatre that has a hand-made feel to it. This performance finds two non-characters with overlapping, all in one memories, dreams and gossip, stuck in time, enjoying simple random non-dialogue. The work engages the audience with no dramatic development, contradiction, repetition and/or nonsense.

http://www.keshakot.com/

Performance: nomo - In-flict

two women will manoeuvre their bodies and objects within a space with a series of obsessive missions. the body will interact with objects to generate exaggerated movement, which will force the viewer to focus their attention on a particular part of the body. this will create an in-flicted relationship between body and vision.

https://sites.google.com/site/00nomo/home

Performance: Francesca Millican-Slater

Ever had your heart broken? Ever wanted your heart broken? Everybody needs a little heartbreak in their life... Watch 'Heart Break Expert' Francesca Millican-Slater rip out her own heart and show you how to do it-if its been fixed-lets break it!

Performance: Benjamin Sebastian - Our Lady Violence

Violence is so becoming. Benjamin was born in Australia and has studied in Australia, Germany and the UK. He is a founding member of both The Greestone Group and ArtEvict. The artist’s practice is multidisciplinary in approach and his creative output navigates the dialectic relationships between intimacy and solitude, security and vulnerability, along with individuality and the communal, logic and the irrational. His work attempts to embody a process of Becoming and is greatly influenced by Queer Theory, autobiography and existential/emotional experience. The artist currently lives and works in London.

www.benjamin-sebastian.com

Performance: Lorraine Smith - Beloved of Henry

Beloved of Henry is an interactive performance piece that embodies the character of Ann Boleyn. This work has developed out of a collaboration between Lorraine Smith and cello player Sophie Rivlin, to create an intimate physical exploration of the volatile involvement with the heir-obsessed Henry VIII.

www.silversmithdance.co.uk

Performance: Lucy Thane - A Sailor Went to Sea to See

A Sailor Went to Sea to See combines Scripted material, improvisation, costume, props, song and video and invites the audience into a "History-Telling" about my Grandfather, Hubert, who ran away to join the Royal Navy when he was 15 and died when I was 6.

Interactive Encounter: Holly Revell - Light-Painting Photo Booth

Holly Revell is an artist interested in presenting photography as current; the live experience that photography provides it’s subject, as opposed to the end document of what has (or has not) taken place. Her live light painting booth offers participants a sensual and atmospheric experience resulting in a sumptuous time based image.

www.hollyrevell.co.uk

Interactive Encounter: MJ Clay - Boogie Box

A video jukebox. Select a song, key in the letter to hear it play and find someone dancing just for you.

Movers and shakers unite to dance your hearts out! Disco diva or mellow mover come and be captured on camera to be included in the Boogie box.

Film: Rania Bellou - In Praise of My Shadow

A collection of visual image layers to be read as a narrative within itself. This packaging of the collected visual information often parallels with various media systems, drawings, texts, sculptures and animations. These images are reflections from stories, songs and rhymes of childhood that are then woven with a deep concern regarding the character’s life.

www.raniabellou.com

Film: Elizabeth Holly Hurt - In a Sickly Light

Devised and Created by Elizabeth Holly Hurt. Inspired by surrealist poetry and children’s texts, In a Sickly Light is a surreal music film/installation devised from a combination of dream theory and collected dream accounts. The narrative is ambiguous and interpretive; essentially assessing how childhood manifests itself on the subconscious, the point where childhood fantasy becomes sinister, and the desire to save something that will inevitably be lost.

www.elizabethhollyhurt.com

Film: Marcus Orlandi - Triptych 1976

Triptych 1976 is a choreographed video work that plays with the concept of framing and composition. A solitary moment of drinking becomes more about the components of spectacle than the act itself. Inspired by David Sylvester’s interviews with Francis Bacon; an artist synonymous with the triptych.

Performance: Inside - 00NOMO

I n - s i d e
the body
an instrument of expression
two women
a circle created
colour
to communicate with each other
body attachments e x t e n d
movements generate pitches of sounds
communication between
the performers and the audience
a sweet taste
This piece will explore the relationship between the two performers.
Like sculpture, the performance will encourage direct physical engagement with materials.

Asia and Louise are both sculptors forming 00NOMO as a medium by which they could create performance pieces that start a dialogue between two practices that utilize different concepts of materiality and to extend communication from something that is simply visible into something that stimulates senses of taste, hearing and touch and incorporates others in a shared experience.

The performance pieces create a bond of many aesthetics and encourage involvement from members of the audience and other participants. This enables the work to allow others, through becoming part of the creativity and shared experience to tap into a different method of expression within themselves.

Performance: Madaleine Trigg

Madaleine is an experimental performance artist, whose work resides in an exploration of the body and a fascination with design elements. As her practice has evolved, Madaleine has become increasingly interested in sculptural/architectural costume, specifically exploring how different materials interact and condition the performers’ movements and investigating its potential as a fundamental and poetic language of performance.

Madaleine regularly collaborates with the costume designer, Francisca Rios. Francisca has recently been awarded a Master of Arts in Costume Design for Performance from The London College of Fashion, where she presented her Final Performance Project at Sadler's Wells Lilian Baylis Studio. Francisca acts as a freelance designer and has worked with some important members of the industry, such as the renowned choreographer, Marie Gabrielle Rotie.

Madaleine and Francisca's latest collaboration, Sutre, premiered at the Spill Festival’s National Platform on 18th April 2009. Sutre will also feature in Vitoria´s International Theatre Festival (Spain) on the 3rd November 2009, in a new programme which celebrates contemporary Performance Art.

Performance: Little Odds and Ends - Eirini Kartsaki and David Paredes

David Paredes and Eirini Kartsaki find a passion in exploring repetition in performance. They are interested in the ways that experiences of repetition suspend time and create spaces, where they can lift a suitcase a hundred times never to be able to begin the journey, where they type a love letter a hundred times and things are still left to be said, where one they are constantly denying, believing, failing and beginning again.

Repetition expands time and invites the audience to linger in the moment and enter the duration of its experience, to become part of the process of discovery and explore the clefts between our longings and the reality of the everyday.

David Paredes creates work (constructions, performances, installations, photograph) that deals with the nature of frailty, the economy of survival, the physicality of gesture, object and space, the idea of construction. Playfulness, humour and, in a certain way, childhood are the means through which the work attempts to express itself. David has exhibited in various galleries in France and Perou and has recently moved to London.


Eirini Kartsaki writes and performs. Her work, which is about and from the body, explores the thrill and wonder of eroticism, discovering, through the physicality of movement and the repetitive storytelling that, ultimately, what we want is to want.

Performance: Good Morning [me, absent project] - Yoko Ishiguro

Good morning (though you are still in the middle of the 'last night').Now, let’s have a breakfast (though you are about 9580km far away fromhere).

“me, absent project” is the attempt to 'perform' where people can not see my body physically exist. In this project, I want to seek the possibilities of various kinds of existence in so-called 'virtual reality’ and 'reality/nature’ and the matters in between intimacy and the physical distance and the digital and analogue communications.

Performance: Dummies - The Dummy Company

If the machines of the modern world turned you into a ‘dummy’, would you stay silent, or learn to speak again? Featuring ‘Stomunculus the Homunculus’, ‘Dr.Shaboo the Shambolical Shaman’, and many more creatures of the Dummyworld. ‘Dummies’ is a radical rag-bag stuffed with puppets, clowns, automata and porridge, colliding sense with nonsense, adulthood with infancy, sanity with madness.

The Dummy Company are a London based performance group with an emphasis on object and vocal articulation. Alongside 'Dummies' they are working on a puppetry piece for children called, 'Trouble', and an ongoing project inspired by James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake.'

http://dummycompany.blogspot.com/

Performance: Six o'clock Swill - Lorraine Smith

Butoh-based exploration into Mr Punch and the archetype of the drunken old man.

Lorraine Smith, artistic director and choreographer of Silversmith Dance Theatre, is a dance practitioner trained in contemporary and expressive dance, and is part of the Newington Collective, Animate: SPACE and the traditional Palestinian and Lebanese dance troupe Al Zaytouna.

Roaming: Own Me - Astrid Breel

Ever wanted to own a part of someone else’s body?

Here’s your chance!

Within this performance you will be invited to select a square on my body you would like to own, decorate it and take home a representation of it.

In a society where our bodies are constantly manipulated, both by ourselves as well as the media, can we ever be said to really possess our own bodies?

This interactive performance explores notions of ownership and voyeurism in the 21st Century. What does it mean to give up ownership of your body? How much are our bodies worth?
The proceeds of this experiment will go to charity.

Astrid’s work developed from a practical research project that started while studying her MA in Performance Practice and includes performances, interactive live art and installations which explore the visible and invisible signifiers of femininity and the performativity of gender.

Music: Erin Kleh

Kleh picked up a guitar last November and began writing some very qwerky folk music from her bedroom courtesy of a Spanish guitar, a bag of change, a cardboard box drum set, a very nice Macbook built-in microphone and some odd relationships (including one with a "horse head).

She now performs regularly around London with her band and newest collaborative partner, Tash. Many of the songs are autobiographical and unconventional both lyrically and melodically.
