For Tape Piece at London Contemporary Music Festival

December 2017

Maya Verlaak and Andy Ingamells’ Tape Piece – which requires performers to wrap themselves up in sellotape and then extricate themselves – also proved something of a hit. Full disclosure: I had performed this piece with Jack Sheen in Manchester a few weeks earlier; on that occasion it had been a kind of awkward if affectionate fumble. Here it was slicker, sexier, more professional even, though maybe less cute.
