At this time of year, one pauses in the light of winter celebration and reflects on the year that has passed. PAN (Performance Art Newcastle), as an organisation, would like to thank the following folk for their kindness and patience over the last year;
To Francesca Steele, Simon O’Connor, Rachel Errington, Laurel Jay Carpenter, Toni- Leigh Sharpe, Ciara Ní Léanacháin, Sian Hutchings, Samuel Barry, Simon Raven and Paula Blair:
I would like to thank them for their contributions in documenting the events of this year through the mediums of photography, video and audio recording.
To Francesca Steele, Laurel Jay Carpenter, Mazzi Rockiin, Sandra Johnston, Thomas Reul, Edyta Czarnecka, Simon Raven and Paula Blair:
I would like to thank them for collaborating with me during the PAN:POS events, performing with me in the public in those moments.
To Martine Viale, Ciara Ní Léanacháin, Sarah Riseborough, Max Wyse, Sian Hutchings, Samuel Barry, Sandra Johnston and Laurel Jay Carpenter:
I would like to thank them for their time and effort in making PAN’s first curated event, PAN: Indoor, a reality and the success of the first event has made me think more about making future events.
Special thanks to Joanna Hutton, Siobhan Mullen Wolfe, Veronica Cordova De La Rosa, Helen Collard, James Tarquinn Daltry, Michelle Follett, Jasper Llewellyn, Catherine Cary, Dominic Thorpe, Benedikte Esperi, Maggie Nichols, Marita Bullmann and Sally Madge, as well as Bbeyond, PAGE: London Opens and LAPER for their individual support and inspiration this year.
Finally, I would like to thank Francesca Steele, Laurel Jay Carpenter and Sandra Johnston for being there through the times in which I was excited, for being there through the times that I was feeling low, for being there with their keen observations and for being there with their great spirits of generosity and patience:
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I hope that everyone have a very pleasant holiday season and I hope to see all of you soon.
PAN will be back... probably around Spring Equinox.
Much warmth and love,
Richard James Hall
