Symone, the interdisciplinary performance artist, circus performer, video game designer, and proud member of the Pecs Drag King Collective is currently involved in the development of three mixed-reality experiences that combine theatre, live gaming, circus arts, and immersive digital elements: the audio installation/glitchy sensorial mixed-reality experience A Dream Within A Dream, the video game Highway to Infinity, and the theatre production Nullspace Motel in collaboration with Sammy Metcalfe (Sleepwalk Collective). 

During this event, Symoné shared her process of creating Dream Within A Dream and opened up to a group discussion about how Live Art, technology and gaming intersect with queerness and alternative narratives.


Alternative Realities: A Discussion about Live Art & Gaming with Symoné

Audio documentation of an evening considering durational performance art with Marilyn Arsem, on Friday 18 April, 2025. 

Across a 100-day period in 2015-16, Marilyn created one hundred different six-hour performances which took place daily in Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Each of these durational works represented a different inquiry on the nature of time.

For this special event, Marilyn will present an artist talk reflecting on this body of work and sharing her research on performance art and time. Following the talk, there will be a Q&A chaired by curator Joseph Morgan Schofield.

This event is curated by Future Ritual as an extension of their festival CEREMONY, taking place in London between 23rd and 27th April, for which Marilyn Arsem is making a new performance.

CEREMONY is supported with public funds by Arts Council England. Further support towards the project has been given by the Mayor of London.

100 Ways to Consider Time - An Evening with Marylin Arsem

Established in 1999, the Live Art Development Agency has both responded to, and impacted upon, the increasingly influential nature of Live Art practices in the UK and internationally by developing an extensive portfolio of specialized resources, opportunities, projects and publishing activities; and by working strategically, in partnership, and in consultation with practitioners and organisations in the cultural sector. 

This is a platform for LADA to share content and recordings of artists as well as commissioned artworks such as Marcia Farquhar, Jen Harvie, Taylan Halici and many others.
