This April you are invited to the 12th instalment of Perpetually Stew, a Bristol-based event series platforming artists who use performance and movement in their practice.

Each month 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 Wednesday 1st of April we’ll be hosting a fresh cohort of artists from across the UK to share their work at KIT FORM gallery; Ran, Henry Wilson and Rachel Helena Walsh.

Ran is a London-based embodied sound artist who creates networks of sonic and choreographic feedback using d.i.y embodied sonic interfaces. Ran is interested in how a body interacts with exponential systems of power, and explores the way these forces propagate and perpetuate in recursive and self-destructive ways.

Henry Wilson’s practice navigates the taxonomy of the self-inflicted and structural violence, centring the body as a primary site of molecular friction. These acts of [pseudo-self]-injury are spectacles in which the interiority of the subject is forcibly externalised with the rupture of the biological container.

This "theatre of impact" serves as a brutal inquiry into how anxiety of the individual is inscribed upon the fascia. Through the repetition of impact and the endurance of the wound, Henry S Wilson interrogates the porosity of the skin as a boundary between the individual and the group; the spectator and the spectacle.

Rachel Helena Walsh is a Performer, Artist, Poet and Producer from Ireland, based in Wales.   Trained in theatre but now mostly working in live art, immersive experiences, audio and spoken word. She enjoys bringing live art elements into other artistic frameworks. 

Rachel seeks to create work that connects, challenges and inspires. Themes often dealt with are: death, dating, nature, politics and mental health. She wishes to share the beauty of everyday actions, moments and place.
