SPILL Festival of Performance
The SPILL Festival of Performance is an international festival of contemporary arts and activism, launched in London in 2007. SPILL commissions, presents and contextualises the work of exceptional artists from around the globe, featuring live performance, installation, sound & music, film & video, gigs, parties, outdoor events, digital initiatives, and publishing. Initially created to support international performance art communities, today the festival is based in Ipswich and is for anyone interested in the arts, and people who might not think they are, including kids, families and young people. Major partners have included Arts Council England, the Barbican, Jerwood Arts, Live Art Development Agency, Southbank, National Theatre and 14-18 NOW. I created 10 large scale SPILL Festivals between 2007 and 2021 - the inaugural edition (London 2007), On Agency (London 2009), On Infection (London 2011), On Proximity (Ipswich 2012), On Contact (London 2013), On Surrender (Ipswich 2014), On Spirit (London 2015), En Masse (Ipswich 2016) and On Time (Ipswich 2018).
The next festival will take place in Ipswich across October 2021, themed On Memory and is the last of my SPILL Festival curations.
