In September the Murdoch printing presses were blocked by protesters occupying two bamboo tensegrity towers – made from poles seemingly suspended in the air. This act successfully frustrated the Murdoch organisation’s control over the UK news media, if only for a day.
Extinction Rebellion were subsequently described as ‘the last remaining authentic High Tech architects’ and ‘organised crime’.

A new video project developed during, and about the lockdown.

The video multiplies the image of a single performer who becomes an indeterminate and ambiguous entity, reflecting the cognitive dissonance experienced by many during lockdown, facing a menacing but unknown threat. There are up to nine people in the house, versions of the same person. There are good things and bad things: fights, bids to escape, dancing, self-inflicted torture.

We, Station House Opera, declare a Climate and Ecological Emergency.
We pledge to work with and support our community and local government in tackling this Emergency, and we call on others to do the same.

In January 2016 we held a two-week online workshop with artists from Gaza and London, as part of the LIFT Digital Utopia project, culminating in a public event at Watermans Arts Centre, London and Al Meshal, Gaza City.  Audiences in both locations joined a live collaboration based on the realities and dreams of everyday life in the two cities.
