Perpetually Stew

This October, you are invited to the 14th instalment of Perpetually Stew, a Bristol-based event series platforming artists who use performance and movement in their practice.

Bi-monthly we invite a selection of performance artists to explore new or old work in an intimate gallery space, and off the opportunity engage afterwards in constructive feedback on each other’s craft.

Practitioners of all skill levels and experience are invited to join us at KIT FORM and duly stew.

On 8th of October we’ll be hosting a fresh cohort of artists from across the UK to share their work at KIT FORM gallery including: ...

Kristen Lindop & Gerry Barnett

Kristen Lindop is a multimedia visual artist exploring diversity and ecology, arising from neuro-nonconformity, activism and somatic responses. Gerry Barnett, is a soundscape creator using found sounds, electronics and voice, with a strong emphasis on improvisation and cross-disciplinary work. Kristen and Gerry began collaborating on live audio-visual performance art pieces in 2024. Their site-responsive work is a complex and spontaneous journey into the subtle space, where we can give our attention to who is present, behind the masks

Nicholas McArthur

Nicholas McArthur is a visual artist based in London and Sofia, Bulgaria. His work explores strange objects and weird environments, often brought to life through performance. His performances are experimental and immersive, combining musical theatre-style singing, audience participation and storytelling to create disorienting, often absurd situations. Through the use of persona, movement, and props, McArthur constructs fragmented narratives that blur the line between reality and fiction. McArthur is also a lecturer at the University of the Creative Arts and Oxford Brookes University.

Tom Marshman

Tom Marshman is an artist with over 25 years’ experience creating performance that uncovers hidden histories and amplifies LGBTQIA+ voices. His work combines storytelling, archival research and live art, often using co-creation to build playful yet profound spaces for dialogue. He has a strong track record of delivering ambitious projects, touring nationally and collaborating with museums, archives and communities to bring overlooked queer histories into public memory.  Tom has worked with organisations including the National Trust, Brighton Museum, Bristol Museum, MAYK Theatre and the University of Bristol Theatre Collection. His visually striking, socially engaged work centres deeply personal storytelling and challenges archival silence.
