"The performers are so occupied by their task that they're not worried about the audience. But they know the audience is watching and invested in what they're doing."Matt Prest

Matthew Prest makes performance and installation that exists in the space between theatre and performance art. His practice includes some solo work, but mostly involves collaborations with other artists working across disciplines in devised processes to create original works in which intimacy, danger, laughter, anarchy, endurance, dancing, music and space are all key elements in shaping a visceral experience for the audience. We cover:
