An actor performs different physical states, questioning what it means to exist, act, assume or relinquish control. This iteration of Interruptions presents work by artist Claire Hope.

Interruptions is a number of events, workshops and performances that intersect The Holden Gallery‘s annual programme of exhibitions. Its short-term format enables different methods of working, allowing invited artists to experiment in the large scale gallery space, and encourages collaborative practice across disciplines in a series of one-off events.
