Eleanor Fogg aka johnsmith took up residency at the start of term 2016-17 and delighted the students with a work-in-progress performance and discussion of  "WE ARE ALL MADE OF STARS"

 

johnsmith is a whatever being. Channelling mountains, stars, slime mould and bacteria, john gets into drag as Mother Earth and tries on bodies from the cellular to the cosmic.

 

Submerged in a tide of colourful images of ‘science’ and ‘nature’, johnsmith howls: ‘who am I?!’ and ‘can I make a change?'

we are all made of stars brings together lip sync, projection, live sound and skin to grapple with some overwhelming questions on a microscopic scale.
