The Artists:
Simone Kenyon has been working as an artist, performer and producer for the past 15 years. She has been training in Body Weather (www.bodyweather.net) for almost a decade as a means to explore physical perception and experience of time and environments, and in particular through walking and journeying. Simone is interested in most things that explore natural environment including facing her fears through outdoor swimming in both fresh water and seas.
Lucy Neal is a theatre-maker and educator excited by celebratory events and how they act as a catalyst for change. Co-founder of the LIFT Festival, her current work looks at how the arts inspire different ways of living with the ecological limits of a finite planet. Active in the Transition Town Movement she is writing Playing For Time, about transitional arts practice and acts of creative community. She swims year round at the Tooting Bec Lido and has a gold medal in ‘head-up’ breast stroke.
This workshop is part of IBT’s new programme of work inspired by water, as a continuation of Up To Nature and DIY: an opportunity for artists working in Live Art to conceive and run unusual training and professional development projects for other artists.
