BEACHJAM, SINGLESHOT A UK FILM COUNCIL & ARTS COUNCIL COMMISSION

BEACHJAM a film by Anna Weatherston and Tula Parker

A sample-heavy funk track provides the revving and screeching sound effects for a toy car as it is ‘driven’ along a stretch of sea wall, from the ‘metropolis’ of a snow-shaker past a ‘Weekend’ tail-back of traffic before arriving, in the wheel tracks of Thelma and Louise, at the breaking surf.

A Singleshot competition winner launching at Tate Britain and shown at various galleries and cinemas, nationally and internationally including Curzon Cinemas, Encounters short film festival Bristol, Reading Music Festival, IS100 Iceland, White Nights Brighton. Most recently shown as part of Experimental Motion at Brighton & Hove Royal Pavilion Museum celebrating 200 years of experimental film makers.

PUSHBACKBRIGHTON

#PUSHBACKBRIGHTON is Brighton and Hove Community Land Trust’s city-wide street campaign to get our city talking about its future. Inspired by the award-winning documentary film, PUSH, which follows Leilani Farha, the UN’s special rapporteur on adequate housing, as she travels the world investigating why ordinary people can’t afford to live in cities anymore. We learnt about global financer Blackstone buying up affordable housing around the world and realised that they already own some of the most unaffordable student housing in Brighton after buying iQ student housing firm in the UK’s largest ever private property deal recently.

With artists and independent businesses making up so much of our city, having the 2nd highest house prices in the UK, rents averaging 68% of tenants wages...

THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY!!

I have been creating subversive property signs along with Graphic Designer Erica Smith and installing them around the city.

If you would like to host a sign - sign up here!

We are in the Brighton Fringe, Yes! It is on!

Complete with a downloadable walking map!

We want to get more people talking about this and about what can be done. How do we stop being pushed out of cities?

How can you PUSHBACK?

FIGURES LIBRES / FOOL KOMPLEXKAPHANAUM

CO-COMMISSIONED TO CREATE A SCENE SPECIFIC TO BRIGHTON FOR FIGURES LIBRES BRIGHTON FESTIVAL 2014. LIVE VIDEO OPERATOR AT PREMIÈRE OF FOOL FOR VILLERUBANNE FESTIVAL, FRANCE.

Who are we, who are you, who am I ?

Figures Libres starts off with these words. An eternal and existential wondering that doesn’t call for any answers but that will pursue every one of us, bringing us back to the complex notion of identity. How can we define ourselves ? What makes us who we are? With a succession of overlapping scenes throughout a fragmented procession Figures Libres approaches the notion of identity in its polysemous dimension. 
KXKM creations are born from documentary material including videos, sounds, archives, words and atmospheres that we either collect or capture ourselves. The work is at the intersection of many art forms, combining them depending on the projects and the context in which they are used. All performances take place outdoor in the public space. The streets, the squares and the buildings create a unique atmosphere for each and every performance.

CHATEAUXRAMA, COLLECTIF 170CM, EUROPEAN MUSEUM NIGHT

ARTIST & COLLABORATOR

Celebrating LOVE by creating installations running through out the building & grounds of Chateaux Grignan & Adhemar Castle, South France.

Madame de Savigne was a French aristocrat, remembered for her letter-writing. Most of her letters, celebrated for their wit and vividness, were addressed to her daughter. She is revered in France as one of the great icons of French 17th century literature. I was allocated to create an installation in Madame’s bedroom. See 9 min into the film.

Collecting documentary material including videos, sounds, archives, words and atmospheres, capturing on film the search for our local hero who will have worked at the little known Isetta Bubble Car Factory in Brighton’s New England Quarter many years ago. Intersecting many art forms, combining them together to tell a story. The performance took place behind Brighton Station where the old factory would have been. A dedicated team of technicians and engineers work together to create specific tools to serve the artistic vision producing vivid, historical and unique installations that develop live as the story unfolds.

MARINELLA SENATORE THE LONDON PROCESSION (2018) PARTICIPATORY PERFORMANCE

STAGE MANAGER

Commencing at the Battersea Power Station, moving north throughout the night and culminating in a finale at the Hayward Gallery. 

‘This large-scale participatory performance, devised specifically for Art Night, takes its inspiration from public ceremonies, civil and religious rituals, working class gatherings, mass events and street musicals. Merging forms of protest, dance, music, theatre and sporting activity within a temporal framework of celebration, Senatore’s work highlights the emancipatory power of communal creative processes. This is especially relevant in the context of new urban developments and the impact of collective formations on the social history of places and communities.' Art Night 2018
