The Artists

Martin Butler is an interdisciplinary artist, and stage director. His work has always bridged and combined various disciplines, dance, theatre, music, film, performance, new media, and fashion, and through this interdisciplinary approach his work explores the new dramatic that the combination of different genres facilitate. 

Alice Héron is a multidisciplinary artist and cook currently living in Berlin. Her work focuses on organic shapes invading our manufactured space and daily life, questioning the way nature is used and consumed. From large scale sculptural works, performance, photography to ceramic product design, Alice Héron’s work takes on various faces and at the moment she is concentrating on food as a medium to explore human’s relation towards what’s growing.

I-Chen Zuffellato is a performer, curator and activist fascinated by reimagining the community. In her projects she explores the concept of body and identity, its alterations, as well as the very act of performing, its meaning and form and its impact on the public.
