ADRIAN HOWELLS ‘Foot Washing for the Sole’
An intimate performance for one in which Adrian washes and dries the participant’s feet, anoints and massages them in frankincense oil and, finally, asks the participant’s permission to kiss them… Now Howells – whose work has often combined a strong sense of intimacy, confession and ritual – offers another one-to-one performance, which explores the possibility of achieving absolution or a sense of ease in our secular culture.

Biography
A recent recipient of an AHRC Creative Fellowship, Adrian Howells, won the Total Theatre Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for his performance, Foot Washing for the Sole, which was nominated in the category Innovation/Interaction/Immersion. Adrian has spent the past three years exploring risk and intimacy in confessional performance and Foot Washing for the Sole was one of his final research outputs.
Partially inspired by his recognition of how the three major religions of Christianity, Islam and Judaism tend to betray their spiritual values, Foot Washing for the Sole is an intensely personal and moving interaction, which forces us to address our own spirituality, culture and faith.

BILLY COWIE ‘In the Flesh’ ‘The Revery Alone’ ‘Tango de Soledad’
The audience enter the darkened space wearing blue/red anaglyph 3d glasses. On reaching their designated spot they are surprised to see a dancer on the ground in front of them. Although she is in fact a projection she appears to be actually in the space, solid and real; she is there, in effect, ‘in the flesh’. At the end of her dance she fades into nothing. We introduce 3 pieces that are first shown in Japan.

Rotozaza ‘Etiquette’
A half-hour experience for two people in a public space. There is no-one watching - other people in the restaurant are not aware of it. You wear headphones which tell you what to say to each other, or to use one of the objects positioned to the side. There is a kind of magic involved - for it to work you just need to listen and respond accordingly.

Biography
The writer and director Ant Hampton formed Rotozaza in 1998 and joined with performer Silvia Mercuriali shortly afterwards to make the second show [DUE] in Milan, Italy, 1999. They worked together in different ways - and in different countries / languages - on over 20 Rotozaza productions, from early site-specific work in Milan and Paris through to a deeply explored strategy of selecting performers, different every night, who agree to take instructions, live and unrehearsed. This in turn gave rise to the ongoingAutotheatro series.
