Isn’t it great to get your head really stuck into something decent without knocking over your favourite lampshade, like with the new Nintendo Wii? At New Territories festival in Glasgow, you can do just that. This year, New Moves International (NMI) once again produces one of the most widely respected festivals on the calendar, profiling fresh, experimental and interdisciplinary performance. This is Scotland’s International Festival of Live Arts, and it is not your average art programme. New Territories is an extraordinarily immersive, creative village experience. You become a part of it, just by being present.

About the Author

Marnie McKee currently lives in London. In the mid-90’s she co-founded ToyBox Circus staging fire and light shows and art installations Australia-wide. Marnie co-produced two major Bodyweather-based works with dancer/director Leah Grycewicz. They toured Pre-Millenium Drinks across Australia (1998); and staged Stratus999, a 3-month site-specific multi-media dance project involving 8 international artists, in Cairns, Queensland. Marnie studied Bodyweather as part of Tess de Quincey’s Sydney-based dance company (1999-2001). In March 2004, Marnie settled in London and has since concentrated on establishing Bodyweather training in London, with dancer/teacher Rachel Sweeney. Together they have worked as AnonAnon, researching and creating interactive performance for site-based work (ranging from nightclub to national park) using immersive, inhabitational and durational tools. Congruently, Marnie has been training with and performing for Stuart Lynch (of Holberg School) in Oslo and London, and more recently, training with Frank van de Ven of Bodyweather Amsterdam in Holland and France.
