CEREMONY: a festival of performance
Curated and produced by Future Ritual.

Encountering different works from across Bean’s five decades of practice, her new work ‘What is that damned beast? Anatomy of performance’ will explore what performance could be and why we keep doing it.
‘This is a search, a hunt, for the beast that has plagued and soothed me, seared me and haunted me, filled me with unease and with tenderness, with fear and quietude, with disturbance and focus, with bewilderment, with perplexity, with astonishment. It has shown me doorways to transcendence and banishment. This fire-spitting, shape-changing, teeth baring, ecstasy inducing beast will be encountered in some of its manifestations in my lifeworks.’
