Performance artist Rose English brings her rich history of feminist performance to Camden Arts Centre, with ‘A Premonition of the Act’, which brings aspects of unrealized performance pieces. Alongside this runs a new sound work, Lost in Music, an operatic piece for ten voices and percussion, scored by composer Luke Stoneham for English’s libretto. Together they create a beautiful experience with humour and absurdity.
