Homage to Mrs. Rowlatt, or, there's no such thing as black felt tips (from the series 'everything I learned in science'). A performative testing of the hypothesis.
The conversation went some thing like this:
Me: Science is interesting
Gail: Hmm
Me: I wish I’d engaged with it at school
Gail: Hmm
Me: I don’t think I can remember anything that I learned in science at school
Gail: really?
Me: yep….. Well apart from this experiment we did with Mrs. Rowlatt in the first year.……………………….
performed as part of 'Correspondence' 25th and 26th June 2010 at London Metropolitan University. Read more about it, and see photos from the performance here.
The Nightwash Laundry Chorus, was part of Spinning Stories, a collaborative project with Emily Butterworth, from King's College London, and The Women's Library.
On the 14th October 2010 around 20 people gathered to perform (sing, chant, read and shout) the instructions in my local launderette.
