Silly. Playful. D/s. Drawing. Creating a series of processes with which we interdependently make a drawing. One person the manipulator. One Body the tool.

Whilst there is a seemingly D/s dynamic, who really has control? Does control always equal ‘Power’? Or does reciprocal trust create a greater sense of ‘Power’ for the individual?

Both participants have an active interest in using our bodies and movement. We contemplate other sensual ways we can connect to one another, not always through speech, touch that isn’t about sex. This performance and preparation for it will be a learning experience for our own friendship. Contains nudity. Part of the ‘Get Yourself Inside’ event.

Kate is a bendy Bike fanatic. She is a performer in Les Velobici, festivals this year included Fusion, Boomtown and Bike Smut.

Serena likes paint, hanging upside down and slow shutter speeds. She spent the last year bound up in a Kink scene in NZ.

We both love Shimmer & Rope!

Sat 15 – Sun 16

Ice Maiden is a reflection on the poem by Lesley Saunders, exploring the fates of two girls separated by millennia, as they merge with the crystalline world of ice. It comes from my current collaboration with writers, exploring narrative through word and image, supported by a Creative Wales Award.

I am interested in exploring the relationship between fantasy and experience and the locations in which these two worlds collide. I am drawn to effigies of the living – uncanny, half-alive objects such as puppets, automata, figures that were made with a specific purpose in mind such as to embody religious beliefs. Being in the presence of something borderline raises questions as to the nature and perception of reality, the nearness of death or absence of life.

An exploration of the familiar everyday follows clues in the signage, in the ordered public spaces and places where detris collect. Drawing attention to the the small constituent parts, the things that are discarded or viewed with little attention, the places to be playful, to create change. Seeking what lies beneath what deeper understanding or communication prevails or recedes. Seeking the narrators of our newest history, the narrative that is currently being created.

Sat 15, 12pm – 3pm
Sun 16, Flags exhibited at Welcome House

Flags of Roath is a new project by artist James Cocks. Through a series of printed flags, which explore the rich cultural, social and historical identities of Roath, James will be hosting a celebratory procession through the streets of Roath to introduce these images to the community, highlighting all that is positive about Roath. The procession will feature performers, Welcome House artists, musicians and James Greens’ masks.

The flags will be on display at Made in Roath’s studios at Welcome House at the beginning of the day on Saturday 15th. From Welcome House, the procession will work its way to the Global Home event on Plasnewydd Rd to join the Puppet Parade before travelling on to 28 The Parade. On Sunday, the flags will be exhibited at Welcome House.

This project draws upon James’ involvement in the Red Route marches of Made in Spring ‘15 & ‘16 and the Cardiff without Culture protest earlier in the year.

Music of the Spheres
Gareth Ziggy

Opening event: Sat 15, 6.30pm – 7.30pm
Sun 16, please check back closer to the date for opening times

Disability Access: Yes

Music of the Spheres uses mathematics, and attempts to demonstrate that everything, including the Earth and planets, produce a resonant pitch. Gareth Ziggy is an artist primarily working with sound.
The piece consists of an interactive spinning globe that emits frequencies and will light up in specific locations depending on sounds made by the viewer. In harmony with the piece the viewer becomes part of the celestial symphony that is ever present but normally inaudible to the human ear. The artist also links the use of sound by humans throughout the ages to produce certain effects, such as healing the body and building the Great Pyramid of Giza through to torture methods used by the American military and shopkeepers playing specific tones to drive teenagers away from hanging around outside their premises.
