ContacTango In Chelsea: Love Clock

Thanks to Donald Hutera and Lilia Pegado of Chelsea Arts’ Collective for inviting me to participate in their four-hour extravaganza, Love Clock which took place on Saturday. It was a unique experience, intense but fleeting and permanently imprinted in time, and one that happily rolled back the borough to a less cynical time when the King’s Road was synonymous with creativity.

It was great to collaborate with Tara Pilbrow and Dylan Elmore in our ContacTango trio and alongside other talented dancers and performers, not to mention the wonderful musicians and vocalists led by Beatrice Bukantyte.

Please see this link for more detailed info on the cast and conceptuality of Love Clock: LoveClock and here are some videos and photos from the spectacle!
