The Anyplace Silk Screening studio has been recognised by Leichhardt Council as a valuable social and artistic resource in the local area, and awarded funding as part of Leichhardt Council’s Community Grants programme.

To celebrate studio co-ordinator, Carizza Teague, is hosting a series of workshops for those wanting to learn new skills, or brush up on those techniques that have been gathering dust. Further details of the next workshop can be found here.

November was the last psh.live for 2011. The three performances included two duos; Rishin Singh with Jim Denley, and Monica Brooks and Laura Altman, as well as a solo performance by Sam Pettigrew. The discussion that followed the performances dealt critically with improvised music with attention paid to views from within and outside the improvisational milieu. Artists and audience also discussed the influence of festivals and organisations such as The Now Now, relationships between musical performance and performance art more broadly and the dynamics of improv ensembles.

Romy: Thanks everyone for coming today, and thanks for the wonderful performances. I guess it would be pretty safe to say that you guys are all quite closely affiliated with the Now Now. I was wondering how important or how influential that is to your practice and how your practice has changed the more you’ve been involved with the community?

Monica: Go Jim!

Jim: Go Mon!

Monica: Jim has been in the Now Now before any of us…

Jim: You’ve been involved for 35 years.
