I was delighted to be selected for a residency at Q-O2 in Brussels for two weeks May/June 2019. See more info at Q-O2. Part of my priority was to reflect on Night Vision – a new work-in-progress originally developed at Rough Mix Residency with Magnetic North Theatre Company. While I was there I also made some recordings, explored some visual artwork as an extension of the Night Vision text and, and gave an improvised performance with cellist Arnold Noid Haberl as part of a public sharing at the Q-O2 space.

Many thanks indeed to all at Q-O2!

Night Vision

Night Vision Nichola Scrutton

Night Vision (working title) is an interdisciplinary performance project.

The starting point was a series of non-narrative texts and drawings captured in the middle of the night lying down in a semi-conscious state. This was a new approach for me.

Early inquiries focused on selection and how to interact with the texts. What happens when these words and symbols are given voice, off the page?  In 2019, initial ideas were explored in a Magnetic North Rough Mix Residency  including a public performance at Perth Theatre.

The work is now in the next phase of development. More information to follow…

I was delighted to be selected for the Magnetic North Rough Mix Residency. The residency took place in Perth Theatre, Scotland for two weeks in January 2019. I developed the text materials I have for Night Vision and produced a performance for the public sharing on 18th January 2019.

Big thanks to Nick and all at Magnetic North, and to the artists and performers involved in the residency. Special thanks to Lorna, Neil, Ian and Laurie for the first performance sharing of Night Vision. And thanks to Lise for recordings, chat and tech support.

Space/Time – Magnetic North

I am super delighted to be part of the 2018 Space/Time creative retreat with Magnetic North Theatre Company. This is arrival day at the wonderful  residency centre Cove Park in the west of Scotland. The sunset is stunning.

My fellow artists are Eoin Carey, Pat Law, Ross Whyte and Sharron Devine and the residency is facilitated by Magnetic North’s Artistic Director Nicholas Bone  and Alice McGrath, Creative Director of Red Bridge Arts.

During the residency we will be taking an in depth look at our various practices through the question ‘how does an artist keep developing?’.
