The Outer Edges

Keeping London at arms length at all times, the film charts a course along the capital’s invisible edges from North Essex to the river Thames. En route, the film celebrates a vibrant untold history as well as the dramatic locations and endearing attitudes of the people living and working along the same unmapped boundaries that Hyde crossed each day to record ‘Edgeland’, his first solo album.

Hamletmachine

Volcano’s HAMLETMACHINE is no ordinary performance. Exploiting to the full the company’s cavernous home in a former High Street supermarket. HAMLETMACHINE is an astonishing journey from a museum of grim curiosities to a garden of delights; through corridors of power and pleasure to dungeons of detritus. Mixing live performance and bizarre exhibition with interactive and sensory elements, HAMLETMACHINE is a surprising, funny and disturbingly beautiful experience for audiences.
My main interest when I write plays is to destroy things. For thirty years Hamlet was for me an obsession, so I wrote a short text, Hamletmachine, with which I tried to destroy Hamlet. […] I think my strongest impulse is to reduce things down to their skeleton, to tear off their skin and their flesh. Then I’m finished with them.
HEINER MÜLLER
Our first task was to demolish what had previously been built. On occasion this process of demolition was done carefully. At other times the play or the text crashed to the floor in a reckless fashion – there were casualties, and a lot of cleaning up to be done.

Rhiannon Rees

I am a painter from Carmarthenshire who is concerned with the materiality of paint itself and painting processes through minimalistic abstract forms. I want to recreate a sense of place within my work, whether that’s a landscape, a moment or a weather condition. I am currently studying at Loughborough University and have recently returned from an exchange in the Academy of Fine Arts Helsinki.
