‘The space between us’ a residency with Brenda Waite and Anna Cady


  • SVA 4 John Street Stroud, England, GL5 2HA United Kingdom (map)

R&D Residency with projections, performances, workshops

A non virtual performative event!

Thanks to successful Arts Council England project funding Brenda Waite and Anna Cady will be presenting a non virtual performative event at SVA in collaboration with the Stroud Film Festival.

Brenda Waite and Anna Cady will be working in the gallery to create an installation and performances which can be viewed safely, despite lockdown, through the window.

Using installation, video and interactive performance in the gallery window, Brenda and Anna bring dry humour to current preoccupations with isolation, barriers and the difficulty of sharing experience.

There will be an online screening in March of ‘Invisible’ the short film made by Brenda Waite and Anna Cady which explores - from the perspective of older women - how it feels to be unseen. This will be followed by conversation to share ideas and news about the project events.

The residency closes with 3 evening ticketed events of performances and projections which will take place in the gallery and viewed by a small socially distanced audience from the street and courtyard.

There will also be a series of cross generational workshops in the summer when Covid regulations permit.
