Join ARC on Wednesday 29 September, 6-8pm for Bawdyville! – an evening of absurdly arresting gestures, one-on-one performances and installation laced with a healthy dose of humour and frivolity, curated by Companis.
Companis will take the audience on a sensuous, subterranean journey punctuated with a series of interactive performances and installations to intrigue, beguile and cause hilarity. Visitors are invited to embrace the forbidden, the ludicrous and to partake in mischief with abandon!
Commissioned artists, performers and collaborators include Antonio Roberts, Chaz ‘Saintly Sin’ Farmer, Emily Ayres, Olivia Zetterstrom-Sharp, Graeme Rose, Cara Gould, Cassey North, Becci Snape, Lin Nuiju and Theatre and Professional Practice students at Coventry University.
Join us for what promises to be an evening of fun, frolics and titillation! Free cocktails – if you can catch one!
Exhibition address: The Vaults | Newhall Hill | Birmingham | B1 3JH

Companis, meaning to ‘break bread with someone’ is a nomadic curatorial and artistic practice based in Birmingham, UK. Companis develops and produces high quality, participatory art works and experiences which explore the exchanges between artist and audience, and engage people in acts of social or relational participation; specifically exchanges involving gift-giving, gestural or transient acts such as eating, play and conversation.
Companis also creates bespoke and memorable dining experiences to challenge the norms associated with eating, immersing the diner in a fusion of performance, food and spectacle. In 2011-12 Companis aims to open a café/project space, which will provide a venue for good food, social discourse and artistic presentations and projects.
Companis was formed in 2009 and consists of Kaye Winwood and Siân Tonkin.
