SUMMARY:Resident artists 2025
DESCRIPTION:Grace Quigley is a queer multidisciplinary artist\, poet\, writer\, performer\, drag and movement artist. Their work explores the depths of queerness\, gender\, identity\, community\, neurodivergence\, mental health\, recovery and addiction.\nWith a background in acting\, Grace graduated with a BA Hons from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Their solo show ‘Bluewater’(2022) ran in Edinburgh and London to critical acclaim\, receiving five stars and nominations for two Offies and a Standing Ovation award. \nGrace has performed her work at prestigious stages and galleries. Including; the Roundhouse (London)\, The Hippodrome (Birmingham)\, The Sherman Theatre (Cardiff)\, Dulwich Picture Gallery (Ldn)\, National Theatre Riverbank Stage (Ldn)\, Gilded Balloon (Edinburgh)\, Royal Vauxhall Tavern (Ldn)\, Jewel Box Theatre (New York) and Silverlake Lounge (Los Angeles). Grace is a member of the Roundhouse Poetry Collective and the co-founder of Queer Noise CIC\, a performance collective that hosts events\, talks and workshops across the UK. \nThe project: Drawing from archival research at the Bishopsgate Institute\, (working title) ‘On Our Backs’ takes inspiration from the iconic lesbian\, 1980s magazine of the same name. Using its print articles and images\, the performance interrogates and celebrates my obsession and experience with queer dyke femme expression\, and desire. The piece includes a variety of perspectives on femme identity. Blending movement\, lipsync\, collage\, shadow work\, and cabaret-style elements\, it brings the magazine’s groundbreaking\, humorous\, and provocative stories to life. Engaging with the audience directly\, the work invites participation in exploring the same questions and ideas that defined the spirit of the original publication.

SUMMARY:Red Thread to Hold – Cherry Velour
DESCRIPTION:Red Thread to Hold – Cherry Velour\nRed Thread to Hold is a durational performance concerned with exploring how physical endurance\, consent\, and relational care can intersect within a performance context. Informed by kink practice and somatic methodologies\, the piece centres on the act of hook suspension as a way of examining how the body can become a site for trust\, vulnerability\, and mutual responsibility. \nAcross up to two hours\, Cherry Velour’s body will be suspended in a web of knotted rope\, held aloft only by hooks pierced through her skin. This state of suspension is not presented as spectacle; it is an invitation to consider what it means to be held: by rope\, by flesh\, by the gaze of others. The work asks how pain might function not as a signal of harm\, but as a tool for communication\, transformation\, and consensual intimacy. \nThe performance does not aim to provide answers. Instead\, it opens space for witnessing. Through slow\, sustained presence\, it resists passive viewership and builds a shared environment in which bodily reactions – such as tremors\, breath\, or stillness – become part of a live negotiation between artist and audience. \nArtist \nCherry Velour is a queer Palestinian-American artist based in Brighton. Her work spans performance\, body-based installation\, and collaborative process. She is interested in practices that explore transformation through discomfort\, with a focus on care\, surrender\, and power. \nPlease note: this performance includes blood and body suspension.
