Anne Bean at CEREMONY

23 – 27 April 2025
Copeland Gallery, London

Anne Bean took part in CEREMONY: A Festival of Performance at Peckham’s Copeland Gallery curated by Future Ritual. Bean’s performance was titled What is that damned beast? Anatomy of performance and she wrote:

“This is a search, a hunt, for the beast that has plagued and soothed me, seared me and haunted me, filled me with unease and with tenderness, with fear and quietude, with disturbance and focus, with bewilderment, with perplexity, with astonishment. It has offered me doorways to transcendence and banishment. This fire-spitting, shape-changing, teeth baring, ecstasy inducing beast will be encountered in some of its manifestations in my lifeworks.”
