When was the last time you made time to talk?
Life is hectic, and real human connection feels increasingly rare. Artists Sonia Hughes and Jo Fong champion the power of slowing down and having real conversations in their live art performance, Neither Here Nor There. In what audiences have described as ‘inspiring and heartfelt’, this experience engages different voices, perspectives and lives to pose the question, ‘how can we live together?’.
Join Sonia and Jo for a short walk around Shepherd’s Bush, followed by discussions designed to make you take ‘a leap of faith’ (CCQ Magazine), and surrender to this intimate and refreshing look into the power of communication.
Neither Here Nor There is commissioned by Chapter and LAUK Diverse Actions, an initiative which champions culturally diverse ambition, excellence and talent in Live Art.
This performance contains a short walk which audiences are invited to participate in. If you have questions about accessibility please contact jo@jofong.com.
