Short Story

Fire, explosions and her body are the main media used by the trans-disciplinary performer Gwendoline
Robin. Her street fire actions, movement performances and burning mobile tools are usually site- or occasion-
specific. Focusing on the body as her working material – as an instrument used to measure space,
time, intimacy, resistance and fear – Robin draws her inspiration from performances of the 1970s. As to
exactly how and where in the Short Story performance this diligent pyromaniac will set off some unconventional
fireworks - a clothes-hanger, maybe a tube, or out of her fingers - let this remain a surprise!
