Welcome
Hello and welcome to ShowCase magazine – if this is
the first time you’ve picked up a copy, let us explain
ourselves: inside are hundreds of upcoming musical and
theatrical shows and art exhibitions held in and around
Chichester throughout the next few months.
We’ve compiled a list of the finest performances from aspiring
actors and musicians: each of whom will be showcasing their talents
at different venues across the city. Don’t forget to grab a pen and
note down the dates of some of these concerts – there really is
something for everyone this year.
Of course ShowCase is not just about highlighting upcoming shows.
Within this issue we are celebrating ten years of our international
touring company mapdance. The troupe, within which resides our
MA students, is this year working with eminent choreographer
Richard Alston as well as other global stars for the launch of a
new worldwide show.
There is also news of a new romance-turned-science fiction motion
picture which has been created by staff from our Department of
Film and Media. Submerged follows a young submariner during his
desperate bid to free himself from a sunken World War Two vessel
before his oxygen supply runs dry.
Furthermore, we speak with an innovative videogame songsmith
who has been working with the creators of some of the biggestselling platforms – such as Metal Gear Solid and Super Mario Bros to compose the backing tracks of the next generation of
action-adventures.
In the meantime have a look at some of the hundreds of upcoming
musical and theatrical shows taking place throughout the next year.

Decade of dance
Celebrating ten year anniversary of mapdance.

SHOW CASE | 5
Celebrating ten years of
It is the eclectic fusion of intricate lyrical choreography,
fast-paced athleticism, and wry humour which renders
performers of mapdance a cut above the rest.
The illustrious company is an
amalgamation of master’s students from
our University that has, since its inception
in 2006, established itself as one of the
leading postgraduate dance groups
throughout the UK and beyond. Now,
after ten years of touring the world, we
sit down with its celebrated performers
and directors to talk about a decade of
dance and its forthcoming anniversary
celebrations.
From its outset, a multitude of silhouetted
dancers standing firm against a bright
backdrop perform in simultaneous
gestural sequences, twisting and turning
before reforming, echoing the influences
of famed compositions fashioned by
renowned choreographers. This, the
opening of the company’s latest
repertoire, is part of a touring evening of
works celebrating the ten-year
anniversary of mapdance, says Dr Yael
Flexer, a previous recipient of the
prestigious Jerwood award and current
senior lecturer at Chichester.
“The company developed from a
longstanding tradition of study in dance, but
has grown considerably in the past ten years,”
adds Dr Flexer. “It offers students a chance
to develop their practice as performers within
an international touring company and engage
in cutting-edge research to develop
themselves as professional artists.
“The various approaches to dance we teach
propel our students onto an incredibly strong
position within the industry after graduating.
The industry itself has changed beyond
recognition since we started in 2006 - this is
why it is so important to hold a diverse
repertoire, and that is what we can provide.”
The company’s latest performance has been
crafted in part by eminent choreographer
Richard Alston, as well as other notable
performers including Liz Aggiss, Kevin
Finnan, and Abi Mortimer, among others. It
is part of anniversary celebrations held at
the University in March which have been
planned by directors Dr Flexer and Detta
Howe, herself an experienced artist.
mapdance performers have a long-standing tradition
stretching back to the 2006/07 academic year.

mapdance – note the lowercase m –
prides itself on developing its students,
who graduate with a critical understanding
of the theoretical approaches of dance.
This is achieved through taught
performances led by its experienced staff
– including Dr Flexer and Ms Howe – and
a series of visiting artists, many of whom
are industry frontrunners.
There is also another strand to the
programme: to develop its students as
independent researchers capable of
developing their own work within the
profession. This falls in line with the
University’s larger objective of exploring
innovative research to ensure that
mapdance remains among the leading
voices within the industry.
As such, the company adopts a broad
approach to performance-making by
welcoming a group of no more than 15
experienced dancers of differing
nationalities each year. This, according to
the University’s Head of Dance Cathy
Childs, is essential to ensure the
company brings an invigorating mix, and
one which appeals to seasoned dance
viewers and new audiences alike.
She adds: “The principle that creative
practices can be as rigorous a mode of
researching as more conventional
methodologies underpins our approach. But
we also ensure that our postgraduates gain
a foothold from our researchers and
industry-leading performers. This gives our
students the opportunity to investigate their
own practices as performers.”
The most recent venture saw the students
collaborate with several notable
performers - including contemporary
choreographer Richard Alston - for their
forthcoming tour to be held at venues
across the UK and Europe. The British
artisan returned to Chichester late last year
to host the dance masterclass more than a
decade on from receiving an honorary
master’s degree from the University.
Professor Alston is not the only guest
star leading on the 2016 repertoire, and
other notable visiting lecturers include
the popular Liz Aggiss, Kevin Finnan from
touring firm Motionhouse, Abi
Mortimer, co-founder of southern-based
company Lîla Dance, as well as
international independent
choreographers Israel Aloni and Lee
Brummer. mapdance also plans to work
with leading choreographer Shobana
Jeysingh, whose renowned work created
a genre from the classical Indian dance
Bharatanatya. A prestigious figure in
British and international dance, Dr
Jeysingh is also a recipient of an
honorary doctorate from Chichester.
“Working intensively with international
guest ensures students develop technical
and performance skills that deepen their
understanding of the creative process,”
adds Detta Howe, a director of the
postgraduate programme. “Such
creative practices generate critical
reflections and illuminate more subtle
details of their research.”
The senior lecturer is another example
of elite academic and professional
experience found within the company
and is a practitioner of the Feldenkrais
technique, which she is passing onto her
students. The philosophy has, since its
inception as a method of reducing
muscular pain, developed into a
profound exploration of awareness,
efficiency, and presence within
performance, which enables its students
to understand their own potential.
“The opportunity to be part of mapdance
has been one of the best experiences of
my life, and I will always be grateful to have
had the chance to study at Chichester. It
made me feel proud of my work, which is
still going on.”
A growing reputation for its professional
shows and nurturing upcoming talent has
ensured that mapdance is a popular
booking on the international circuit
throughout its touring calendar, from
February to May, which this year includes
Gibraltar, Sweden, and the Jackson’s
Lane theatre in London.
Its director Adrian Berry says:
“mapdance is very much one of the
leading players in terms of graduate
performance of contemporary dance.
It transcends what we may perceive to
be student dance and held its own in
terms of disciplined, focussed, and
innovative work from a very accomplished
young ensemble.”
The mapdance ten-year anniversary
celebrations are being held throughout
2016 and will include a unique event at
the University on Saturday 12 March,
which will see the return of a number
of alumni of the company.

including its upcoming performances,

The research of Ms Howe and the
additional University lecturers provide a
solid foundation which is welcomed by
the postgraduate students, none more
so than promising performer Carmine
De Amicis, who is now working with
famed London-based troupe Tavaziva.
The 27-year-old, who graduated from
the company late last year, says:

A game of
tones
Musician George Baker is a multi-instrumental beat artist
turned videogame songsmith - but, as a self-confessed
experimentalist, he is not the composer you may expect.
After just two years of tussling through
Tokyo’s underground artisan elites, the
former Chichester student found his
groove working with the creators of
some of the highest-selling videogames of
all time. We speak to the 31-year-old
about how following his boyhood dream
has landed success six thousand miles
from home.
From the heyday of the famed Nintendo
console, to the action-adventures of the
award-winning Legend of Zelda and Street
Fighter series, George Baker has been
obsessed with the eight-bit and orchestral
compositions of Japan’s illustrious gaming
genre. After graduating with a BA and
then an MA in Music Performance from
our University, he relocated across the
world to break into the exclusive industry
in Tokyo: home of the most popular
videogame custodians.
George says: “Japan has many ancient
forests, mountains, and yet there’s also this
sprawling expansion of technology that’s
changing the way we interact with each
other and our environment. My music
reflects this, it's a mix of digital and
analogue, acoustic and electric, traditional,
and unconventional,” he adds, pointing out
his 17-minute, one-take saxophone solo
for the Yoko Kanno-inspired track Forever
Never, which syntheses ambient and
melodic elements.
“We are accustomed to hearing certain
timbres and harmonies in specific cultural
settings, so it can be fruitful to subtly play on
those associations to lead a listener
somewhere in particular. The Fender
Rhodes, the saxophone, these instruments or
their associated expressive lexicon connects
us to ideologies, cultures, times.”
As a teenager, George made a promise to
himself, scribbling the words “Go to Japan”
into a little blue bucket list book, and
finally achieved his boyhood dream upon
graduating from our University in 2009.
He has been in Tokyo ever since.
“I was very fortunate,” he adds, “after
completing my first album in 2013, Heart
Beat Circuit, I ummed and ahhed about
sharing my work. Around that time I
stumbled across an article in the Japan
Times about new label Brave Wave, who
were working with some of my childhood
game music composers, including the early
Nintendo consoles.
“It was a total gamble, but I wrote to them
with a sample. At first I heard nothing and
was feeling dejected but, suddenly, one day, I
was emailed by the founder, who really liked
the record and wanted to release it. That
email was a life-changing moment.”
A relative unknown in a foreign country
thousands of miles from home, his career
exploded after being invited to a party
organised by the Brand Wave label,
where he rubbed shoulders with
videogame royalty and soundtrack
creators of multimillion-selling actionadventures, such as Metal Gear Solid and
Dark Souls II. Each agreed to collaborate
on his debut album Heart Beat Circuit,
which fuses multiple genres through his
own narrative.

Self-confessed
experimentalist
George Baker.
George says: “That night I met the
incredibly-talented Keiji Yamagishi, creator of
the 1990s videogame series Ninja Gaiden,
Manami Matsumae, who scored Mega
Man, and the delightful Masashi Kageyama,
known for the 90's platformer Mr Gimmick,
a game that adorns a serous following in
America. It was like something out of a
dream, as I grew up listening to these guys.”
Of course, staking a claim within a
multibillion-pound industry is not without
its constraints, and George is usually
found working under the pseudonym
Smoke Thief. This, he admits, was
necessary to free himself of genre
limitations, one where he can follow
artistic impulses and not feel restricted to
tempo or arrangements.
“My music’s infused with a lot of emotion
and vocalesque melodic lines,” he adds. “I try
to wire melodic, atmospheric elements into
arrangements with groove-laden beats to
create an enticing sonic world for the listener
– Smoke Thief seemed to capture that.
“Once I’ve a feel of the game, it's onto
improvising while recording, finding a theme
or a chord progression that ignites the right
emotion. For something futuristic, I
synthesize my own sounds, for something
older I carefully syphon samples from vinyl
and shape them beyond recognition. That’s
really exciting.”
On the inspiration for his innovative
recordings, George admits that it was the
help of his University lecturers that eased
his pathway from underground artisan to
near-global stardom.
“My tutors at Chichester inspired me from
the get-go,” he says. “They were always a
compass towards ensuring my performances
focused on my strengths and not just whims
of what was technologically possible.
Lecturers Rod Paton and Nick Reynolds
helped me unlock the secrets of jazz
harmony and improvisation, and Stephen
Baysted encouraged me to study the film
scores more academically to grasp how
certain textures vivify a scene.”
However, it was the performance of his
self-written track Nankurunaisa –
presented at our University alongside
legendary prog-rock icon Nigel Rippon
for George's band The Samurai Toad –
that he admits was the highpoint of his
stretch at Chichester. The song, and its
saxophone and trumpet harmony, loosely
translates as Everything is going be alright.
George adds: “It received a lot of plaudits
that night and remains a highlight. It was
thanks to my tutors Head of Voice Susan
Legg and classical pianist Terence Allbright
who helped me focus on achieving a balance
of virtuosity and humanity in my
performances.”
“I’m really just getting started in Tokyo,” he
admits. “I’m undoubtedly lucky, I understand
that, but I believe that if you’re honest about
your strengths, your weaknesses, and you
keep trying to improve at something,
eventually it pays off. I just hope that more
people can join me on this musical voyage
I’m embarking on.”
For more about George Baker, including
his self-styled vocalesque melodies, solidstate grooves, and evocative harmonies,
follow him on Twitter @georgeartbaker
or at www.facebook.com/SmokeThief.
Below: George names his
influences as the multimillionselling hits Metal Gear Solid, Super
Mario Bros, and Dark Souls series.
The latest venture aimed at broadening
the Smoke Thief pseudonym is new
album Kodama - or Japanese spirit - based
on his experiences of the country, and
examining people’s relationships with
nature and technology.
George explains: “I’m using field recordings
and undertaking an academic assessment of
the mechanics of Japanese folk music to
ensure this album comes into its own. I
recently received sponsorship from musical
instrument maker ROLI, and they've sent
me a next-generation keyboard which
articulate notes close to playing a wind or
string instrument. It’s quite a departure from
Heart Beat Circuit, but will take my listeners
somewhere new.”
George willingly admits that he still has
some way to go with his innovative
compositions, but is planning a series of
solo live performance fusing live sax,
synth, and drum machine improvisations
throughout 2016 for a tour across Japan.

News
and reviews
While many of our students and staff are musicians and
performers, we also welcome many celebrities, artists and
renowned experts to the University, so there is always
much to share. Here is a taste of some of our recent news.
Student artist’s innovative artwork
displayed at leading theatre
The innovative paintings of a MA Fine
Art student from our University
detailing the conceptualities of modern
theatre have been hanged alongside
leading performances at the Chichester
Festival Theatre.
Sehila Craft was appointed as an
Emerging Artist in Residence at the
theatre’s renowned yearly festival, during
which she produced drawings and
observed rehearsals for performances
Way Upstream and The Rehearsal.
The project was part of a partnership
between the University’s Fine Art
Department and Chichester Festival
Theatre. It was developed to give
students access to the Theatre’s
environment as inspiration for their
work, and to give the theatre a
means to share aspects of working life
with audiences.
Ms Craft said: “Colour is a key component
of my paintings - I used a restricted palette
of four main colours for the paintings
currently on display in the Foyer at the
Minerva Theatre. This is similar to my
drawing method: I draw with charcoal, then
rub back and an after-image remains - the
traces of the ‘lost’ performance are evident in
the new performance.”
The residency has given Ms Craft the
opportunity to reflect on her own work
and develop a style and method. Over
the past few months Mr Craft has been
developing her drawings and sketches
into final pieces to display at her MA
degree show.
She added: “Observing the rehearsals at the
theatre has developed my thinking in relation
to my work and repetition has become a
significant theme for future work and the
paintings. I have learnt much through my sixmonth residency, and I would like to exhibit
all or some of the paintings, which resulted
from this residency, to a wider audience
beyond Chichester.”
Dr Shirley Chubb, Programme Coordinator for MA Fine Art at Chichester,
said: “The residency provides an exciting
real-life opportunity for a student and the
Theatre has been extremely supportive in
allowing Sehila first-hand experience of such
a vibrant and varied creative environment.”

University’s world-renowned
composer speaks of awardnominated year
One of the country’s leading composers
who scored the soundtracks to a series of
prize-winning films and videogames has
spoken of his successful award-nominated
year. Dr Stephen Baysted, a Reader in
Film Composition at our University, told
of how he received critical acclaim for his
work of best-selling racing simulator
Project Cars, which topped the charts
after its release last year.
The game, which was nominated at an
international awards ceremony, is also a
candidate for the upcoming BAFTA awards
within a number of categories, including best
audio achievement. Dr Baysted is currently
working on the sound design for airborne
racer Red Bull Air Race, which is due for release
in late 2016.
He said: “Like all authentic racing simulation
titles, there is no music during gameplay, car
engines always take precedence. My job as
composer is to try to enhance the player’s
sense of immersion in this world of racing
and deepen their emotional and
psychological responses to it by preparing
them for the race.”
A collaboration with documentary
filmmaker Phil Grabsky on The
Impressionists, exploring renowned
Parisian art collector Paul Durand-Ruel,
also earned plaudits following its
broadcast at the Musee d’Orsay, National
Gallery in London, and the Philadelphia
Museum of Art. The duo’s latest
masterpiece, Renoir, studies the life and
work of the French painter and is due to
be screened worldwide in 2016.
The culmination of Dr Baysted’s efforts
throughout the year saw him twice
nominated for best original score at the
international Jerry Goldsmith awards,
named after the celebrated composer,
for his work on Project Cars and
The Impressionists.
He added: “There were hundreds of entries
in each category of more than 1,000
composers. In the end, I didn't win, but that
was not too surprising, as it was a Spanish
award ceremony, and was predominantly
won by Spanish composers.”
Dr Baysted is soon to start scoring the
soundtrack for a six-part television
documentary, commissioned by Channel 4
and the Smithsonian museum, about on the
ancient world while will be aired in the spring.

Archivist Jan Hodges with
artwork by Clarence and
Gillian Whaite.
Archive of famed artists revealed
in Chichester
The archive of a famed father and
daughter art duo has been discovered by
a PhD student from our University. West
Sussex art historian Jan Hodges, who is
undertaking a doctorate within the
Department of History , unearthed the
works of Clarence Whaite, who lived
from 1895 to 1978, and his daughter
Gillian at an auction.
After discovering the archive, she spent
several months at the city centre house of
Ms Whaite, who died in 2012, to
catalogue the work before presenting it
to the University’s special collections
archive. Jan said: “Although both Clarence
and Gillian lived in London for most of
their lives, they both retired to Chichester,
Clarence to the newly developed
Parklands Estate in 1962 and Gillian to a
house in Orchard Avenue.
“The house was an intellectual and artistic
archaeological site, nothing could be
discarded without careful examination. I
have been researching art for 21 years, and
it seemed as if all my work had led to this
opportunity.
“Although this collection could have been
placed at other eminent institutions, I wished
it to stay in Chichester to add to the cultural
heritage of our historic city. My raison d’etre
has always been to place works in the
museums or collections where I feel they
belong and not place them on the open
market for dispersal.”
The archive includes a complete
Catalogue Raisonne of both artists’ work,
letters, photographs, as well as a large
body of artwork and, in its entirety,
consists of 38 archive boxes. Jan has
deposited exhibition catalogues at West
Sussex Record Office and Pallant House
Gallery, the latter of which also holds a
painting by Clarence in its collection.
Jan added: “Clarence had a far-reaching
influence on his students and those around
him. His advice for working hard was a cold
shower in the morning and four cups of tea –
he was indefatigable, extremely skilled and
unfailingly kind to everyone around him. He
was a modest man who did not promote his
own art work, but instead focussed on his
students - my aim is to bring his art and that
of his daughter to the forefront.”

Student artists named among
southern England’s finest
A blackened silhouette of Chichester
Cathedral and an abstract mango print
are two innovative works from our
students which are due to hang in
series of leading galleries.
Contemporary artists Paul Benham
and Gemma McGrath, both studying
Fine Art at our University, have been
named among ten other recipients of
the prestigious Platform graduate award.
The competition, now in its fourth year, is
led by the Aspex gallery in Portsmouth
and aims to unearth emerging talent from
universities and colleges throughout the
south of England. The artwork from the
two students includes a visual and sound
film of Chichester Cathedral, which is
projected onto a large curved screen, as
well as abstract Mango Melody, for which
acrylics and oils are used to create
decorative motifs and interior design.
They will feature alongside the ten other
recipients – all fine art or photography
students - at leading galleries within the
region, collectively known as the
Contemporary Visual Arts Network.
This includes the Aspex, De La Warr
Pavilion in Bexhill, Modern Art in Oxford,
MK Gallery in Milton Keynes, and Turner
Contemporary in Margate.
Fine Art student Paul said of his work: “I
needed a high end projector to enable me
to project my film to a large scale with
maximum contrast and a clear picture. I
also experimented to create an underlying
sound that occurs throughout my film, and
played around with stretching the sound to
create a more unusual, eery sound.”
Speaking of Mango Melody, Gemma
added: “My work is a combination of
painting and printmaking, an exploration
of the relationship between colour and
form. I aim for some sense of
overwhelm - an experience that is
fundamentally transformative, about the
relationship between disorder and order, and
the disruption of the stable coordinates of
time and space.”
Following the exhibitions, one artist will
be chosen by judges as an overall winner,
and will receive £2,500 and a year of
mentoring from an experienced
professional. A spokesperson of the
Aspex gallery said: “One of the main
goals of the Platform project is to
develop successful ways for artists to further
their practice following graduation.”

Louie Jenkins provides spark at Burning Man
Catching fire
Fire burns brightest in the depths of the Nevada Black Rock desert,
or so the stories suggest, where nearly six square miles are ablaze
with adventurous artwork, pioneering pyrotechnic performers, and
non-stop parties. This is Burning Man: an alternative arts festival
which knows almost no boundaries.
Since its inception in June 1986, when it
was born from the ashes of a giant
wooden demigod burnt at a San
Francisco beach party by 35 onlookers,
the yearly celebration has grown into an
international exhibition.
But, unlike most festivals, there are no
spectators. Instead everyone gets
involved: disciples bring their own
artwork, their own living quarters, and
even their own food and water for the
week-long party. All 70,000 of them, in
scorching 40-degree heat.
The story of Burning Man is one of
autonomy, decommodification, and,
perhaps most importantly, freedom. It
was this all-encompassing ethos which
first attracted pioneering performer Dr
Louie Jenkins to the festival.
“Burning Man is not everyone’s cup of tea,”
she says. “You have to surrender to the dust.
At the end of the week you, your cars, and
everything you own is covered, it’s like being
in a Mad Max movie.”
A senior lecturer in our Department of
Theatre, Dr Jenkins is a professional
actress and director whose innovative
theatre explores death, mourning, and
shame, with a specific focus on queering
narratives. It is this unique approach to
performance-making that she teaches to
her students at Chichester and further
afield at the California Institute of Integral
Studies (CIIS) in San Francisco.
“The experience of Burning Man was eyeopening, there really is nothing else like it,”
she says. “You feel the desert under your
feet, yet there’s an entire city surrounding
you, and everyone is dressed in elaborate
costumes.”
There is a dearth of commercialisation at
Burning Man. No brands, logos, products,
or anything available to purchase. Such a
fastidious culture is governed by ten core
principles, which all participants must live
by. Those who have previously attended,
including Dr Jenkins, will tell that most pull
together into a collective community.
She adds: “The whole event is massive, and
bikes are essential to get around on. It’s
built on a clockwork system where
different camps provide a diverse focus,
which means something creative happens
24-hours-a-day.”
Dr Jenkins’ venture to Burning Man was
also an opportunity to take her CIIS
students – each of whom gains credit for
developing a performance project – to
the festival.
“There’s not another university in the world
that takes its students to Burning Man,” she
adds. “The festival is built into the degree,
and the students receive credits for their
individual performances.”
“The Nevada desert is one of the most
barren locations in the world, and my
philosophy is if students can perform here,
they can perform anywhere,” adds Louie,
who leads a module within the Theatre
Performance-Making MFA.
Weeks before attending the festival,
Dr Jenkins was asked to work with the
new cohort of students on the degree.
The intensive course culminated with
professional performances at Z Space
theatre at the heart of the contemporary
performance scene in San Francisco.
“Theatre in the USA is far more traditional
than the UK in that performers are
predominantly governed by directors,” adds
Louie. “As an independent artist, much of
my work is devised, so I wanted to
demonstrate that students can retain their
own artistic licence while performing.”
Launched in June last year, the objective
of the Theatre Performance-Making MFA
is to develop its students through learning
and working across alternative and
creative cultures.
The 18-month course runs in parallel
with the Chichester-based MA
Performance (Theatre and Theatre
Collectives) and includes a four-week
residency our University.
The artistic focus of Dr Jenkins has now
returned back to Burning Man, after she
was asked by its organisers to develop a
theatre district for 2016. She adds:
“This is an incredible opportunity for me,
but also for the Department of Theatre
at Chichester.
“The themed districts at Burning Man are
massive, and we have been asked to create a
visually-stimulating presence based on the
thousands of bikes used at the festival. My
vision is the Spoke Collective, which includes the
expertise of several lecturers at our University.
“This includes Rob Daniels, whose company
Bootworks has experience of bicycle-based
theatre, having performed at events likes
Glastonbury and Edinburgh. It’s incredibly
exciting, and will be an unbelievable
experience for us and our students.”

Circles of Influence:
British Art 1915-50
A Diarist’s Perspective
February 6 to April 19 2016
The Otter Gallery, Bishop Otter Campus
This major exhibition is based on the diaries of the distinguished
artist and influential teacher Randolph Schwabe from 1930-48,
when he became Professor and Principal of the Slade School of
Art following the retirement of Henry Tonks.
It shows a range of work by Schwabe
(1885-1948) from both national and
private collections including his work as
an official war artist during the Second
World War, alongside those by noted
artists of the period referred to in
his diaries and letters. This includes
Dora Carrington, Mark Gertler,
Eric Ravilious, William Roberts and
Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
A key feature of the exhibition will be
works from the University’s Bishop Otter
Collection, of particular significance are
paintings by Paul Feiler, Ben Enwonwu both of whom were taught by Schwabe Stanley Spencer and Ivon Hitchens and
ceramics by Bernard Leach. These works
displayed together for the first time will
offer unique insights into the artistic and
literary circles of British society in the
1920s through to the 40s.
Attention will also be drawn to the
leading writers, intellectuals and patrons
that Schwabe knew and mentioned in his
diaries such as Edmund Blunden,
Somerset Maugham, Father Martin
D’Arcy and Edward Marsh. The
exhibition has been curated by Gill
Clarke, Visiting Professor at the Otter
Gallery and author of publications
Randolph Schwabe: A Life in Art (2012),
The Women’s Land Army: A Portrait
(2008), and Evelyn Dunbar: War and
Country (2006). Most recently she has
edited Schwabe’s diaries, the launch of
which will coincide with the opening of
the exhibition.
Dr Clarke said: “Schwabe’s diaries are
candid and witty, providing rich and new
material about the practice and spirit of
twentieth-century British art, revealing the
inter-relationships between familiar figures in
the art community and the tensions within.
The diaries contain passages of illuminating
description of artists and critical
commentary. International and national
events are commented on including the
build-up to World War II as well as the
running of the Slade and its evacuation to
Oxford to share premises with the Ruskin
Drawing School in September 1939.”
For nearly two decades, Schwabe
diligently recorded in his elegant and
well-punctuated script his thoughts and
subtle comments on people and major
events and his own artistic practice.
Indeed, Schwabe might be viewed as
the Pepys of the art world.
The exhibition is supported by Chris
Beetles Gallery. To find out more about

SHOW CASE | 23
Locked in a stiffing metallic tube, somewhere
under the depths of the stormy sea waves,
submariner Billy Bourne wakes to find himself
alone. Flashing-red emergency lights are his only
illumination, and cast his outline across the dials
of his World War Two vessel.
Unable to locate his position on the
seabed, Billy tries to find an escape but,
to no avail, calculates how little oxygen
he has left. He stumbles upon top secret
plans that have led to his situation: an
experiment from the British Navy
sometime in the 1950s investigating
teleportation.
But this experiment has gone wrong.
Badly wrong. Minutes earlier he had
woken from dreaming about his
sweetheart, Baby, only to find that
he was alone, without his crewmates,
and thousands of metres below the
ocean waves.
He tries using the radio but gets only
static, before sealing off the sub to
conserve his air supply, and attempts to
escape through hatches and launch
tubes. But the oxygen has run dry, and
he begins to accept his fate.
These are the opening moments of
innovative sci-fi romance Submerged,
created by our University’s Department
of Film and Media. The 15-minute short,
a homage to traditional Cold War
thrillers including 1990 hit Red October,
is the story of submariner Billy Bourne,
whose crewmates mysteriously
disappear after research into
teleportation goes awry.
The feature was directed by Senior
Lecturer Darren Mapletoft and written
by Programme Coordinator of Media
Production Michael Holley. The
soundtrack was composed by Reader in
Film Composition Stephen Baysted,
while professional crews during filming
were led by Game of Thrones and
Doctor Who editor Tim Porter.

Bourne on the WWII vessel.
Right: My Name is Georgina.
Darren: “The film was shot entirely on HMS
Alliance, an old World War Two submarine
now based at Gosport. This makes it feel
fantastically realistic, particularly as it was
rather claustrophobic inside. We still had to
complete a fairly complex post-production
journey as we included a lot of additional
effects. The film itself has been entered into
a series of international film festivals and, so
far, it has been very successful.”
Among these festivals are prestigious
awards ceremonies held across the world,
including the Great Lakes International
Film Festival in Pennsylvania as well as the
Motor City Nightmares horror expo in
Michigan, Detroit. Submerged was also
screened at the renowned Los Angeles
Film Festival Awards in late 2015,
following its official premier at the
Aesthetica Short Film Festival in York.
The University trio, who work under the
guise of Trundle Films, are no strangers to
receiving critical acclaim for their
productions. Their repertoire includes
another 15-minute short, My Name is
Georgina, about a young woman forced
into slavery. The film, shot at the
University with help from its students,
aimed to raise awareness of human
trafficking in the UK, and was honoured
at a 2013 short film festival in London.
“Creating these films was a great experience
for our students and one that provided them
with invaluable experience of all aspects of
production. It is a unique experience across
any university in England, and is very much
geared towards helping our students hit the
ground running when they graduate.”
The Department of Film and Media’s next
venture will see them again team up with
students for horror short Cured, which is
again to be filmed at the University and
throughout Chichester. The motion
picture will be available to view in 2017.
Back on the deck of Submerged, and with
little oxygen left, submariner Billy begins
to accept his fate. He shaves, cooks, and
dons the Captain’s uniform, before adding
romantic music and sitting down to a
meal. Opposite sits a shirt with a picture
of Baby attached. He struggles physically
and mentally as he dances with the shirt,
losing himself to the music.
The dream is broken by voices coming
through the radio, but all hope is dashed
as his own messages bounces back at him
from earlier. Billy is broken. Lying on his
bunk, struggling for air, his eyes close to
images of Baby dancing on the beach,
encouraging him to join her. He begins to
crawl towards the con tower, up the
ladder and to the hatch, but can he
escape the submarine before the oxygen
runs dry and he is cast adrift forever?

Thursday 25 February, 7.30pm
Campus, Chichester.
3Fall Dance Company is made up of third
year BA Hons Dance students at our
University. They have been working with
three outstanding choreographers to
create a new exciting repertoire for the
2016 spring tour.
Nora is the coming together of dancers
Eleanor Sikorski and Flora Wellesley
Wesley. Their desire to dance together,
their love of choreographic structures
and their critical eye has given them the
impetus to invite several distinguished
dance makers to create work especially
for them. In this, their first collaborative
endeavour, they perform an evening of
new works by the indomitable Liz Aggiss,
acclaimed duo Jonathan Burrows and
Matteo Fargion, and renowned French
choreographer Simon Tanguy.
Cai Tomos has produced a comical work,
A Dance for you, with the dancers based
around instructions given to them by
family members about dancing; how we
perceive it, describe it, and most
importantly, do it. Carrie Whitaker (Lîla
Dance) has created The Weight of Waiting,
an exciting and emotionally driven work
based around the idea of waiting;
suspended between hope and
hopelessness, these strangers find the
strength to pull together, support and
carry each other through the heaviness of
the situation. Filip Van Huffel’s Below the
Radar is an unsettling piece of sheer
dynamic and unstoppable energy, based
around groundedness, trust, humanity
and speed. This exciting tour will also
include projects created by third year
student choreographers at the University.

Liz Aggiss has conceived NORA, a story
of competitiveness and hormonal
imbalance where shit tricks become
cheap laughs and a Bach is worse than its
bite. Jonathan Burrows and Matteo
Fargion's piece, entitled Eleanor And
Flora Music, is a brand new translation of
composer Morton Feldman's For John
Cage, the source of their iconic Both
Sitting Duet (2002). This new piece
reimagines the earlier work as a standing
performance, building silent music from a
gestural landscape of touch. Simon Tanguy
has worked with Nora to develop
Digging, a complex score of movement
and text, creating a unique and intricate
portrait of the two women and the
political world they live in.

A psychedelic ride, and a wonky homage

art instructions to ask whether falling in
love is always catastrophic. A sell-out
success and one of the most talked
about shows of the Edinburgh Fringe

Funny and surprising in equal measure
this show from a multi-award winning
theatre maker, is about reckless
optimism, avant-garde art and what we

Chris Dobrowolski:
Antarctica
Thursday 10 March, 7.30pm
Campus, Chichester.
Antarctica is the most inhospitable
climate in the world. It’s the driest,
windiest place on Earth, synonymous
with failed expedition attempts, with no
artists for miles around. A place that
Chris Dobrowolski decided was perfect
for him.
For three and a half months Chris lived
and worked alongside the medical
professionals, researchers and
crewmembers at the British Antarctic
Survey, trying to experiment creatively
whilst (crucially) trying to survive. He
discovered that sometimes it’s very
difficult to justify your position as an
Artist whilst everyone around you is a
Hero.

Thursday 14 April, 7.30pm

A woman takes to the stage. A man
watches from the wings. They both
wonder if their love will survive what’s

Tonight I’m Gonna Be The New Me is an
arresting physical endurance act that
crashes headfirst into an impossibly true
love story - and out the other side. It
exposes how we perform our
relationships amidst a reality that just
won’t live up to what the movies
promised. Disarmingly honest and
comically imagined, Tonight I’m Gonna Be
The New Me pierces the bloody heart of
our obsession with outlasting hardship.
Intimate and startlingly immediate, it

The Otter Gallery forms an

welcoming and accessible
space for art to our
immediate community of
staff and students, as well
as diverse audiences in
Chichester and beyond.
deSTEM: de Selby’s Theory
of the Exchange of Molecules
The Bishop Otter collection:
A Celebration
Saturday 30 April - Friday 10 June 2016
The Otter Gallery, Bishop Otter Campus,
Chichester.
Monday 20 June Sunday 9 October 2016
The Otter Gallery, Bishop Otter Campus,
Chichester.
An undergraduate exhibition of recent
works by selected level four and five Fine
Art students – in their first and second
years – will be displayed at deSTEM, which
is curated by Senior Lecturer Christopher
McHugh. It highlights some of the unlikely
experiments conducted in the pursuit of
Fine Art study amid the leafy groves of the
University, and some of the unexpected
conclusions proposed. The questioning of
meaning offers students the insight to
make individual choices of medium and
theme as they work towards performing
as independent artists in the show - on
view throughout May at Chichester.
Marking the centenary of the birth of
Sheila McCririck, Head of Art at Bishop
Otter College from 1949 to 1978, the
exhibition traces the early development
of the University’s collection of twentiethcentury British art. The collection was the
result of the vision held by two
remarkable women: Sheila McCririck and
K M Elizabeth (Betty) Murray, Principal of
Bishop Otter College from 1948 to 1970.
Together they created a unique collection,
not least because at the outset there was
no finance. Yet artists through the
Contemporary Art Society such as Ivon
Hitchens, William Gear, and John
Craxton, and eminent collectors willingly
loaned their work. This two-site
exhibition is a partnership between the
Otter Gallery and Pallant House Gallery,
showcasing works to demonstrate its
significance.

Earthquakes in London
The Alexandra Theatre, Belmont Street,
Bognor Regis, PO21 1BL.
An epic rollercoaster of a play travelling
from 1968 to 2525 and back again, driven
by an all-pervasive fear of the future and a
guilty pleasure in the excesses of the
present. Earthquakes in London includes
burlesque strip shows, bad dreams, social
breakdown, population explosion and
worldwide paranoia. It is a fast and furious
metropolitan crash of people, scenes and
decades, as three sisters attempt to
navigate their dislocated lives and loves,
while their dysfunctional father, a brilliant
scientist, predicts global catastrophe.
Direction by Gary Sefton.
Movement Direction by Annice Rose.
After a hugely successful first year, the
Musical Theatre Joint Honours Company
is proud to present this thoughtprovoking, contemporary play. Brought
to you by the same team that produced
Sweeney Todd in 2015.

year in which Alfred Hitchcock premiered
Britain’s first purpose made talking picture
– a moment of huge transition in the
fortunes of many performers in the film
industry. The production has been created
specially for The Pavilion Theatre,
Worthing. The historic site of Britain’s
first-ever public cinema, predating the
purpose-built cinemas in Worthing and
Brighton that soon followed. In a narrative
that mixes fact and fiction and features a
thirty-five piece orchestra, a Londonbased film company is using the theatre to
film the final sequence of a light
entertainment that will end in tragedy.
With livelihoods and ultimately lives at
stake, the audience enter the film-set

country home in 1900s Sweden. On its
premiere, Wall Street Journal raved, ‘No
score of Sondheim’s is as buoyant and
thoroughgoing an example of musical comedy
as A Little Night Music.
Filled with Sondheim’s signature wit and
some of his most gorgeous melodies –
including the beloved and haunting
treasure ‘Send in the Clowns’, A Little Night
Music will grace Bognor Regis Campus’
versatile Assembly Theatre in an all-new
production that will sweep audiences away
with theatrical storytelling that ignites the
senses.

Mon 9th – Weds 11th May, 7.30pm
The Old Market, 11A Upper Market
Street, Hove BN3 1AS.
Book and lyrics by Steve Brown and
Justin Greene
Music by Steve Brown
Based on the book by Viv Nicholson and
Stephen Smith.
University of Chichester premiere at the
Brighton Festival Fringe with the
remarkable true story of Yorkshire
housewife Viv Nicholson who won a
Euro-millions scale fortune on the football
pools in 1961. When a reporter asked her
what she planned to do with her new
found wealth, she replied, ‘I'm going to
spend, spend, spend!,’ which is exactly
what she did.
Her rags-to-riches-to-rags-again story was
turned into a musical by Steve Brown and
Justin Greene. Their narrative takes us
through Viv’s five husbands, her expensive
sports cars, fur coats, and jewelry and her
battle with alcohol, and bankruptcy as,
unable to cope with her increasing
notoriety, she rapidly spirals downward.
Of Brown and Greene’s Musical:
“Very special - a magical mix of a fine score,
a strong plot, full of social realism ... It's the
biggest British winner in years”.
News of the World.
“The most glorious new musical I can recall ...
a working-class ‘up yours’ fixture among West
End musicals”. Financial Times.
“Blessed with heart, humour and irresistible
humanity.” Daily Telegraph.
This amateur production of Spend Spend
Spend is presented by special arrangement
with SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD.
