SUMMARY:CREATING AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL & GENRE-PUSHING PERFORMANCE A WORKSHOP BY KRISHNA ISTHA
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will be facilitated by Krishna Istha\, Paula Varjack and Julia Croft\, focusing on how they make work that stretches and pushes form\, encouraging participants to create their own material. \n\n\n\nKrishna Istha is a performance artist\, comedian\, theatre maker and screenwriter. Their performance practice is trans-disciplinary\, creating socially conscious form-pushing works that speak to taboo or underrepresented experiences of gender\, race and sexual politics. Currently\, they are writing on Sex Education (Netflix)\, and is a Barbican Centre Open Lab artist (2021-22). More recently\, they co-directed Jazz and Dice by Naked Productions for BBC Radio 4 and was an Arts Admin Bursary Artist (2020-21). As a screenwriter\, Krishna has several original TV series in development with UK production companies. \n\n\n\nPaula Varjack is an artist working in performance\, video and participation. She makes work as a way of making sense of and communicating with the world. In every show she makes\, she aims to find the balance between making audiences question themselves\, and feeling like they have had a fun night out. She uses storytelling to take audiences on a journey\, shining light on what some might find uncomfortable\, or may not have contemplated before. She is a London Pleasance associate artist and a Barbican Open Lab artist. She has been commissioned to make work by The Barbican\, Battersea Arts Centre\, Camden People’s Theatre\, Fuel\, The Marlborough\, Attenborough Centre for the Arts\, Upstart Theatre\, Beam\, and First Draft Cabaret. \n\n\n\nJulia Croft is a live artist and performance maker based in Auckland\, New Zealand. Julia’s practice draws on feminist and queer theories to create performance works that explore representational politics\, violence\, the body and increasingly feminist futurisms and Queer world building. She has created 10 full length works including 3 solo works: If There’s Not Dancing at the Revolution\, I’m Not Coming\, Power Ballad and Working On My Night Moves the latter two with Nisha Madhan as director and co-creator. These works have toured extensively throughout NZ as well as Australia\, the UK\, Singapore and Canada\, including to the Yard Theatre and Battersea Arts Centre. Working On My Night Moves was awarded a prestigious Total Theatre Award at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe Festival as well as an Auckland Theatre Award for Excellence. \n\n\n\nThis show is part of Roundhouse PROCESS – a work-in-progress series interrogating artistic processes and artist care – part of the Roundhouse’s year-long theme of Liberation.

SUMMARY:FIRST TRIMESTER
DESCRIPTION:Krishna Istha will be taking over the Studio Theatre for a week\, working on First Trimester\, a 1-to-1 interactive performance interview set in a fertility clinic\, in a quest to find the perfect sperm donor. \nRegister to take part \nFirst Trimester is one part of Krishna’s M:OTHERHOOD Project\, initially born from Krishna learning about their own mother’s experience of birthing a child that went missing from the hospital the day of the birth\, losing another daughter but gaining a son in Krishna\, and their own personal desires and fears of wanting to carry a child as a trans person into a world that’s slowly falling apart. \nFertility and reproductive rights have long been explored in feminist performance art\, often in a trans-exclusionary way. As a practitioner who uses feminist tropes as a way to broach the trans experience\, this project feels like a rich way to investigate the process and identity of motherhood. The proposed works ask the audience to reflect on ancestry and the price of biology (in relation to queerness\, gender and race). \nUsing elements of documentary making and film\, First Trimester is a one-to-one performance interview with a quest to find Krishna and their partner the ‘perfect’ sperm donor. Inspired by painter Paul Thek’s Teaching Notes\, the audience will be asked intimate and probing questions that raise social and political conundrum. When looking at donor databases\, Krishna found that the information often logged for donors focused on things such as eye colour\, hair colour and academic accomplishments—which are of no use to them. They set out to create their own set of questions\, to learn more about potential donors and why they might choose to donate to a trans couple\, while simultaneously asking bigger philosophical questions about what makes a good parent. \nKrishna’s week at Roundhouse will be an open-door studio\, letting people into their research and developmental processes. The industry—producers\, artists\, performers\, academics etc.—are welcome into the rehearsal space every day to witness and unpack aspects of the development process\, and to experience elements of the show that might require the team to work collaboratively with more bodies. On the last day in the studio\, we will open the space up to a wider audience for a round-table sharing of the work to get feedback and thoughts on the shape the show is taking. \nThe purpose of sharing work in this way is to challenge and interrogate artist development processes\, to create transparency around the R&D process\, and to open up questions about how we develop work and the models that we know don’t always serve the work itself. \nMORE INFO\nThe team: Krishna Istha\, Paula Varjack\, Julia Croft\, Michelle Williams Gamaker\, Rent Rea and Ruby Glaskin. \nWhat the week looks like: \nOver Krishna’s week in the studio\, they would love to invite fellow creatives & makers to come be part of the open workshop sessions taking place from Tuesday – Friday\, 10am – 5pm. If you are interested in joining any of these sessions\, please fill out this online form. \nTuesday: FORM — In this session Krishna will be interrogating the form and structure of their project\, with a focus on the film and documentary elements of the project. \nWednesday: LOGISTICS & DESIGN — Exploring the logistics that go into creating three pieces of work that sit alongside creating a human baby\, as well as the design elements. This session will include conversations with producers\, production managers and the designer. \nThursday: TEXT — This session is all about the text & language in the show\, finding the right way to communicate questions to audience members/potential sperm donors. The team would find it most useful for queer and trans folks who are\, or hope to be parents some day to attend this session. \nFriday: TEST — Delving further into the questions\, Krishna will try them on the attendees. The purpose of this session is to help Krishna refine and find the right questions to be used in the show. Towards the end of the day Krishna will host a FEEDBACK session facilitating a roundtable sharing where they can bring together some of the learnings and questions that have come up through the week. Think of this as an ‘in-conversation’ with the team. \nThis show is part of Roundhouse PROCESS – a work-in-progress series interrogating artistic processes and artist care – part of the Roundhouse’s year-long theme of Liberation.

SUMMARY:Blubber: Work in Progress
DESCRIPTION:‘In the beginning\, Katie and Body were best friends…In the beginning\, Katie and Body were infinite with possibilities….’ \n\n\n\nKatie is on a voyage to prove that they can be graceful. But perhaps she already is. She’s taken up synchronised swimming\, and it’s a lot harder than they thought – but she’s buoyant\, beautiful even. Many of the things Katie thought to be true about her body aren’t. Turns out\, there’s a whole bunch of people just like them. There are lots to unlearn. \n\n\n\nJoin Katie and Body on their quest as she brings you what she’s learnt about her fat body in a journey through synchronised swimming\, live music and whales. \n\n\n\nKatie Greenall is a solo performance artist who makes autobiographical and semi-autobiographical work about marginalised bodies\, particularly fat bodies and fat liberation. Katie draws from their own experiences of living with a fat body and how this is viewed within our specific cultural contexts. They are interested in how marginalised bodies create community\, how they are treated differently in spaces and how we engage each other through non-traditional performance. \n\n\n\nThis is a work-in-progress performance of brand new work from award-winning artist Katie Greenall. \n\n\n\nThis show is part of Roundhouse PROCESS – a work-in-progress series interrogating artistic processes and artist care – part of the Roundhouse’s year-long theme of Liberation.
