- **Event Name**: Future Flares Festival: The Visibility of Possibility
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 22 Jan, 2026 at 06:35 pm
- **Event Description**: A performance lecture by Peader Kirk
greenroom (1987-2011) was a key venue for the development of Manchester artists and for live art in the UK and beyond - as artist Martin Gent pointed out ‘greenroom was a catalyst for performance art to thrive in the UK’. Yet many now have not even heard of greenroom.
In an act of performance/archaeology Kirk attempts to resurrect the ethos (and vibe) of greenroom by interweaving performance re-enactment, audio testimonies for greenroom’s digital archive, dance music that played at greenroom club nights in the ‘80s and some highfalutin theory. Drawing on Foucault’s ‘Des Espace Autres’(1984), and Pearson and Shanks envisaging of performance heterotopias (2001), Kirk argues for the importance of audiences from diverse and economically challenged backgrounds seeing people like themselves in performance work.
Dancing optional.
Credits: Text and performance – Kirk. Live mixing – Will Dickie.
Additional performers from Manchester Met’s MA/MFA in Performance.
