Join Milton Keynes Arts Centre and resident artist Emma Cousin as we invite Louise Ashcroft and friends for an evening of spoken word performance with a special Milton Keynes edition on Unperforming. Unperforming is an ongoing series of energetic performance that has a darkly comic thread to them and are very varied. Ashcroft will present the events and guide the audience between each of the happenings.

Unperformance is: a joyride through a junk-food tapas of anarcho-hedonistic performance clutter, with a selection of short, live works by selected artists.

Unperforming is: your feeble masculinity, fake weather, the shopping channel, teeth-shaped fingernails, the lactobacillus menu, a human radio, and dogs breeding humans in weird shapes (like we do to them).

Well, that’s what happened last time. Come along to find out what goes on at this special Milton Keynes edition of the infamous strangely-comical live art night, Unperforming at Milton Keynes Arts Centre.

Common Ground is a 12 month season of four distinct projects, each presenting high quality and meaningful opportunities for engagement between a diverse spectrum of artists and communities living in Milton Keynes. Working with artists RARA (Youngsook Choi and Kirsti Davies), Tracing the Pathway, (Ashleigh Bowmott, Cara Davies and Tom Eke), Milo Mcloughlin-Greening and Emma Cousin, our projects see artists work directly with our communities to create new works and establish a connected programme of workshops, professional and artistic development, events, talks and exhibitions.
