Crypt Residency 2016- Rowena Boshier

The space will be explored by the making of drawings and seeing how the lines on the page transfer into physical movements, becoming dance. The residency is an open process and welcomes viewers to come and inhabit the space while the artist is present. Open daily: 2pm – 6pm.
