Neverland descends on St Anne's Well Gardens as 26 Letters steps outdoors for another interactive art trail, this year in the swashbuckling company of Peter Pan and friends. Five specially commissioned art works by artists, sculptors and performers from around the country (Eilidh Bryan, She and Her, Alison Duddle and Weston Hammond, Athina Valha, Kate Strachan) each provide a cryptic clue to the title of a classic children's fable, fairytale or story. All you have to do is piece together the puzzle.

Bring a picnic, soak up the mid-May sun (it never rains in Neverland!) and join in the quest as Incisor Theatre Company with live music from the Cosmic Sausages unleash more madcap entertainment on the move. Guaranteed to end happily ever after!

She and Her Here and There is a new Live Art performance which will take the audience on an unusual guided tour departing from the DLR Station Mudchute through residential housing and waterways to The Space.

The performers will welcome the audience on either platforms of the station at an appointed time and take turns involving them in initial conversational scenarios discussing the boundaries of theatre and art. While one performer is taking on the function as guide the second will meet the audience at specific places along the route, taking over from the first so that the impression of a relay race manifests. The journey will lead through several private housing estates and along the water front of Millwall outer dock through to the back of The Space along the path on the right of the building. The tour will end either in front of the building or inside the main space.

Using an amalgamate of text and visuals/objects the piece will draw on aspects of the areas history, for example the working class past of the Isle of Dogs as well as the myth of the architect Brunel being connected to the church building.
By combining fact and fiction the piece encourages the audience to put the narrative and visual fragments together in their own heads.

The selected route as well as the sites the group will stop at along the route will be carefully chosen and represent a variety of spaces including waiting, looking, playing and through areas. The performance will draw on the spatial qualities of the areas used and play with aspects of transitional spaces, non-spaces and moving/movable spaces. The looming presence of Canary Wharf as a backdrop will inspire us to involve thoughts about the relationship between living and working areas and their architecture. The piece will focus the audience's attention on the un-obvious and oblivious, heighten the sensitivity towards our surroundings and encourage the viewers to question the everyday experience of journeying.
We are hoping to have “dolphins”, a girl in a red rain coat and a refreshment break with tea and cookies for everyone!

The piece will have limited availability so please book in advance

She and Her are taking the audience on an underground journey back in time.

Set in the two lift spaces either side of Greenwich Foot Tunnel the artists are creating an unusual connection between the two sides of the Thames River. Upon arrival the visitor is drawn into the remnants of an initially one off secret performance; two women of strangely familiar and correlating looks are travelling the tunnel departing either side, meeting in its exact low point. In this moment the viewer is witnessing an unexpected encounter during which clothing falls to the ground and something unnamed is exchanged. After this wordless occurrence the women part into opposite directions as if nothing has happened.

Transformed into an unusual documentation of this event She and Her Exchange is a puzzle that asks the visitors to put the fragments together in their own head. It invites the audience to shift their perceptions of encountering strangers and proposes scenarios for unexpected social interaction.

Notes to Editors
She and Her are an emerging female performance duo creating public interventions in urban environments. Exploring the underlying rules and parameters of sites and their inhabitants the duo sets out to map the environment through a set of rules they place on themselves which frame their exploration.
Their interest lies in the juxtaposition of notions of the private and the public through playful inversion and transformation of expected behaviour patterns.

She and Her crossing
A collaborative exploration of transitory spaces

She and Her Crossing maps the public space of Camberwell cross roads through a series of interventions which travel within the framework of the changing phases of traffic light circuits. Between green and red, walk and wait, travel and rest the two performers are embarking on a continuous journey from one axis of the road to the next while exploring ways of challenging public behaviour patterns.
