BOOK NOW: Roy Claire Potter 'COMMS FAIL' đď¸â
â
â Join artist Roy Claire Potter on Saturday 2 May for a new live performance titled 'COMMS FAIL', reflecting on solar weather, radio waves, communications failure and remote connection, and help to produce a live radio broadcast for listeners elsewhere.â
â
Roy has worked with a team of fellow artists, radio astronomers, amateur radio operators, musicians and creative consultants to research and develop COMMS FAIL, a multicomponent artwork that will unfold throughout 2026.â
â
Several iterations including, a performance, a live radio broadcast, an album with booklet, and a sculptural installation explore the grammar of communicative resilience and remote connection by amplifying autistic perspectives.â
â
A staged performance written for three voices will invite a live audience to help produce a radio broadcast for a remote audience. There will be gentle interaction with ushers and performers to pick your preferred spot to enjoy the action, and to contribute by making sounds or being quiet, moving props, or being a witness.â
â
COMMS FAIL is mixed live for broadcast on Resonance FM online and 104.4 FM in Central Londonâ
