Adam James The Mudhead Dance live performance (2012)

The Mudhead DanceAdam James

5 May to 3 August 2012 V22 F Block

Adam James’ moving-image work The Mudhead Dance is inspired by past and present ideas of shamanism, sacred ritual and the role of sacred clowns (or 'Mudheads' of the Pueblo Indian culture). The project will have two outcomes: live filming event, which is a public spectacle, and the screening of the finished film itself at various venues around London and the UK.

‘The performance hopes to scratch in the dirt. The performance hopes to celebrate the forgotten. The performance hopes to bring the outsider inside. The performance hopes to stir-up the sediment. The performance hopes to soak up the gravy. The performance hopes to upturn the skip’ – A.J.
