This week, join Chloé Déchery at Shoreditch Town Hall in exploring friendship, labour, and long-distance relationships; ultimately climaxing with the unexpected encounter between a glass of champagne and a knife on stage.

"A Duet Without You" is a solo performance trying (and inevitably failing) to be a duet. Re-enacting a pas-de-deux without a partner, Chloé Déchery embarks on a…

Hello everyone,

We're putting together a collection of nice quotes from people who feel having engaged with (Talk with) LEAP enabled them to do something they wouldn't otherwise have been able to/contributed to their artistic and/or professional development...
It's for a bunch of funding applications which will support a new turn for the organisation over the next few months/years....
I've emailed some of the obvious suspects, but if you feel you'd like to say something nice about the stuff we've done - do comment here or email [email protected]
Looking for short quotes rather than longer statements, if possible
Thanks everyone xx

GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ARTISTS
If anyone knows of any artists, creatives or producers who are also artists and would be interested in this below then please pass on.

Derelict & performance company Angel Club (north) are calling for proposals and expressions of interest for Forensic – a full day of site-specific and sited performance.

‘Forensic’ is one part of Derelict Sites a wider festival of public engagement and sited performance taking place in Preston between Saturday 11th and Sunday 19th April 2015. The festival will be drawing together artists of regional, national and international standing to present work in Preston’s most prominent and visible display of Contemporary Performance to date. Deadline: Friday 6th March, 12 noon.

We are currently looking for work to inhabit five spaces in 3 different but inter-connected Forensic Crime Houses on Saturday 18th April. The spaces available for proposal are:
Open Plan Kitchen/Living Room
Open Plan Kitchen/Living Room
Small Bar (with full bar, pumps, stools and tables)
Small Post Office Cashier Window
Small Living Room

The Forensic Crime houses usually serve as training sites for forensic investigations into crimes of the everyday, mundane and unexpected. Proposals might choose to respond to these themes although this is not a pre-requisite. We are looking for a variety of one to one, durational and short 20-minute performances. Installations will also be considered. Please follow this link https://www.dropbox.com/…/1zizy0…/AADArxijmDDIMJMNwA8h2LOma… to view the site descriptor, which includes images and measurements of each space.

Notes:
As a contributor to the event, Forensicartists will be invited to discuss their work alongside these artists in a public open panel discussion hosted by Guardian journalist Maddy Costa.
We have up to a maximum of £100 to offer each artist/company to contribute towards expenses.
Unfortunately as replicas of everyday houses there are accessibility issues with all 3 houses. Please contact us directly if this might raises issues with your proposal.
Please send ideas, proposals (where possible with documentation) to [email protected] by Friday 6th March, 12 noon.
