// BUZZCUT // Double Thrills: Marcia Farquhar, Julie Cleves & Robbie Synge, Conor Baird, Stuart Kennedy

Double Thrills is a monthly platform from BUZZCUT supporting live art and experimental performance. Running from October 2017 - April 2018 we'll be showing radical performance practices from the UK & the rest of the world, alongside new live work in development from some of Scotland's most exciting makers, all in a super warm and friendly environment with drinks, dancing and welcoming vibes.

Marcia Farquhar / CALL ME IVY
Crackers in the bleak mid winter. Marcia Farquhar will tell tales of the season, show how to liven up an unwanted gift, play music, dance and raise hell.

Julie Cleves and Robbie Synge / Passing Through
Julie Cleves and Robbie Synge have been close friends since meeting at a dance company audition in London over eight years ago. We didn’t get the job.

Passing Through shares the story and practice of Julie and Robbie’s eight years of artistic experimentation and friendship. Escaping the studio and becoming visible, Julie and Robbie try to push the limits of what is possible together through bringing materials and their bodies together. Novel solutions to tricky problems allow us to share experiences together and achieve apparently straightforward actions.

Passing Through is about two people doing what they do, at work and in friendship. Taking time, taking care and getting somewhere together. Touch, effort, risk, motivation and goals. It is about new technology or new approaches with technology and challenges expectations and assumptions. It asks us to consider the details.

Passing Through is one of several outcomes of Julie and Robbie's ongoing collaboration.

Conor Baird
Conor Baird is an artist based in Glasgow, working primarily in performance, video and installation. Their making practice focuses on exploring personal tensions and anxieties around the body, sex and identity. Recent work has enveloped concerns in queer belonging and normativity, enlightenment through national landscape, autobiographical pasts and imagined futures. Recurring and channelled into the ‘work’ are formal intimacies with self-imaging and process based intimacies with duration and risk. Conor will develop recent research and present a new piece for the Clubroom at Double Thrills.

Stuart Kennedy / Your Move
