Plus new work from Glasgow-based artists Althea Young and Kirstin Halliday!
// GET OFF //
“The average life expectancy of a woman in London is 83 years old. The average life expectancy of a woman in Glasgow is 78 years old. This means, when I go home to visit my mum next month, I’ll be 5 years closer to my death…”
A self-proclaimed hedonist Katy Baird has spent the last decade documenting her pursuit of pleasure. Attempting to understand what she does with her time, and what she’s going to do with the time she has left.
Through humour and an existential haze of home videos, last night’s gabber, and sessions with her life coach – Get Off offers an unfiltered glimpse into our human need for distraction; exploring the depths of our desires and what truly gets us off.
“GET OFF will make you squirm, cringe, and laugh out loud like never before” - Eva Mateos Rodriguez, Abundant Art
“Messy, anarchic and very funny” ★★★★ The Stage

Althea Young presents The Dreaming
As dreams of babies invade the waking world of Althea Young, she struggles to understand not only what she wants, but why?
A work of auto-fictional performance, this work-in-progress flicks through dream-worlds consisting of lyrical text, responsive sound, and visceral choreography. In a complex interrogation of reproductive desire and resistance.
As she explores her own ambivalence to parenthood within our state of perma-crisis, she must ask; What makes our lives meaningful? What are we willing to sacrifice? And what is it all for?
More information on Kirstin Halliday's performance coming soon!
Age 18yrs+.
