Using slides and video clips from their most recent projects, Leslie Hill and Helen Paris (Curious) present an illustrated artists’ talk about working between live and mediated, between performance and film and between personal writing and group documentary making.

Leslie Hill and Helen Paris are artists known for their edgy humorous interrogations of contemporary culture and politics, work that has been called “as smart as it is seductive” (Irish Times). Their work embraces live performance, digital media, installation, publication, film and video. As Curious, they have produced over thirty innovative works as well as collaborations with national and international artists and companies. Curious are Artsadmin artists. www.artsadmin.co.uk

“While Doris Humphrey’s dance Shakers (1930), or Enter Achilles (1995), Lloyd Newson’s collaborative work, each in its own way challenged prevailing ideologies, neither matches Paris’s and Hill’s radical view of ‘theatre’ as ‘performance’, as travel through time and space, virtual and real, with audiences seen and unseen.” - The Routledge Reader in Gender and Performance
