CAJ COLLAB (casual collaboration) is an experimental performance platform. Created, curated and facilitated by myself and Michael Kitchin; we invite two artists of different disciplines, who have never worked together before, to collaborate. They have one day to make, and must perform together that evening.

this came from a desire to create a low stakes environment away from the labour intensive structure of funding - rehearsal - performance. A WAY TO RE/DISCOVER SOMETHING ABOUT PLAY, EXCHANGE AND TIME.

There have been 5 iterations of CAJ COLLAB so far, with the next in April 2020 at The Place, as part of Splayed Festival. More Info and booking.

Previous artists have included Fernanda Munoz-Newsome, Eva O’Connor, Jemima Foxtrot, Akeim Toussaint Buck, Lewys Holt, Zia Ahmed, Stephanie McMann, Suren Seneviratne AKA My Panda Shall Fly, Lindsey Mendick, Eleanor Sikorski, Amy Morvell, Oren Shoesmith, Anuradha Chaturvedi Seth and Amy Barton.
