GIG: 23 April: My 1-woman stand-up/running show/running joke: ON RUNNING (LONDON), HAPPINESS AND PLAYING AMBASSADOR OF PLATFORM 9 ¾

2012KaiSyngTan_Departures

BOOK HERE TO ATTEND. Sensingsite: Materialising Site. Lethaby Gallery, Central St Martins N1C 4AA. My performance is the last, at 3:15pm. So let’s keep it short and sweet. 

Love London but feel lost? Fancy flanuering and dériving – but getting a tad tired of walking? Had enough of the 10,000 CCTVs shadowing your every move? Sick of being seen as an Other? Run out of ideas to fend off sexual harassment?? Refuse to toe the party-line or to take things lying down? Tried sit-ins and walk-outs – but need something more poetic? Curious about parkour and skateboarding as urban tactics to re-assert your autonomy, but not fit enough? Come join me in this stand-up – or rather, running – 1-woman show. Let merun through the ways in which running can empower you to feel a sense of ownership of London. Along the way, I will share a few secrets about being undercover as ‘Nondon’ Ambassador during the 2012 Olympics, happiness – and Platform 9¾. Perhaps I will also touch on mortality/ageing, as this will be 1 day before my birthday…

 

 

APP: Head in the skies, feet on the ground

The whole world under our feet…. and following in the footsteps of the inane and insane masters.

I’ve just made an app. It’s selling like hot cakes. The app has many apps, coloured for your convenience. Collectively functions as your Co-Runner to help you Run Your World. Let’s do it together – hand in hand, feet to feet, heart to heart, shoulder to shoulder, side by side, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, cheesecake for cupcake. You can download it from the Apple Store once I finish negotiating the fine print with Apple. Or you can just slip it on, like you do Five Fingers shoes, with the apps caressing the different parts of your sole and soul (if you had any?). It’s up to you. So very flexible and versatile, all my designs always are. So natural too. Just like the five fingers, as if you’re not really ‘wearing it’. Remove it, though, and you will feel naked, vulnerable, sad. Just warning you about the side-effects. All good things in life have a catch. But this one’s worth it. Cos you’re worth it (are you?) (aren’t you?)
