Networked Bodies: The Culture and Ecosystem of Contemporary Performance
“This publication assembling the practices and discourses of ‘Asian contemporary performance’ is assuredly a statement of ‘the world we have made’ for the now and the future, as well as a means of connecting TPAC and other ‘worlds.’ “－Ruo-Yu LIU, Chairwoman of Taipei Performing Arts Center
“While it is now hardly unusual to find choreographers working in an exhibition setting, or visual artists performing on a stage, it is still rare to see practitioners from the different fields working together, as can be found at ADAM.”－John Tain, Head of Research at Asia Art Archive
“With various understandings from multiple disciplines, life journeys and international practices, this publication is neither a collected manifesto, nor an imprint of harmony and integration. On the contrary, it is the very embodiment of incarnations and trajectories of the world history and the network of contemporary corporeality.”－Chun-Yen WANG, Art Critic
The Cholmondeleys and the Featherstonehaughs
2024 marks the 40th anniversary of The Cholmondeleys dance company, founded in 1984 by Lea Anderson, Teresa Montano, and Gaynor Coward. Inspired by the DIY culture of post-punk UK, they wanted to create something that resonated with their friends, blending dance with the energy of fashion, music, and club culture of the 1980s.
They named themselves The Cholmondeleys, like a band. Emerging from this vibrant time, their performances featured collaborations with British artists, including choreographer Lea Anderson, costume designers Sandy Powell, Emma Fryer, Simon Vincenzi, composers Drostan Madden & Steve Blake, and lighting designer Simon Corder. Together with their sister company, The Featherstonehaughs (founded in 1988), they produced over 87 works, both live and on film, performing in the UK and internationally. This rich creative legacy is captured in an archive of images by photographers such as Chris Nash, Pau Ros, and Matilda Temperley, now presented together for the first time in this celebration of The Cholmondeleys and The Featherstonehaughs.
A to B in MK
A to B in MK (2018) is an artist’s book that documents 12 collective walks and cycle rides on the Milton Keynes Redways, a270km network of pedestrian and cycling paths that run in parallel to the Milton Keynes road grid.
The writing which explores parts of this network is a continuation of Hayley’s interest in sustainable transport, roads and oil. The publication includes a job application, written to Milton Keynes Council and Highways in the voice of the Redways asking for a role in the future of sustainable transport in the town. It is a sister publication to MKVH The Screenplay (2007), a book documenting a performance in which a coach was driven around the road grid of Milton Keynes until it ran out of diesel.
Collective Spirit: The Lone Twin Boat Project
The project, conceived by the artists Lone Twin, began by inviting members of the public to donate pieces of wood that were significant to them.
The story behind each piece was documented and became part of the fabric of the boat. They include fragments from over 50 houses, a shaving from one of Jimi Hendrix’s guitars, and even a piece of the Cutty Sark.
In total the boat contains over 1,200 donations. Each piece tells us a story. Together they create Collective Spirit.

Entanglements of Two : A Series of Duets
This book explores the practical, philosophical and aesthetic implications of performers working in pairs. It focuses on a ten-year period in the work of Karen Christopher, alongside wider reflections on the duet as a concept in artistic and social life. The book presents an investigation of the entanglement of form and practice seen through the lens of the smallest multiple unit of collaboration: the pair.
Experiments in Listening
Through an exploration of both practice and theory, this book investigates the relationship between listening and the theatrical encounter in the context of Western theatre and performance. Rather than looking to the stage for a politics or ethics of performance, Rajni Shah asks what work needs to happen in order for the stage itself to appear, exploring some of the factors that might allow or prevent a group of individuals to gather together as an ‘audience’.
