Sam Rose is a live artist and performer based in Nottingham. She has been showing work nationally and internationally since 1997, working mainly with performance, video, and text.

Her practice is process driven and interdisciplinary in approach, concerned with the body as a site for exploring issues of gender, sexuality, and desire.

She has recently started a Masters of Research at Plymouth University, researching the collapsing boundaries between performer and audience in one to one performance. She is also a part time lecturer.

At emergency 07 Sam presented Between One and Another: ‘Melting Point’, a one to one performance exploring the transient nature of the moment. Sam Rose may ask you to sit with her for a while and to ‘taste the experience’. Will you accept her invitation?

As part of the Method Lab process Sam Rose is developing this piece.

Between One and Another has developed as a series of durational one to one performance encounters and interventions based upon ideas of intimacy and exchange, and includes 3 works:

Between One and Another: Melting Point (2007)
Between One and Another: A Place of Encounter (2006)
Between One And Another: Our Pod (2006)

Exploring the relationship between the public and private self, this recent body of works looks at our desire to connect and experience, to touch, to interact, and to share the moment.

In Melting Point, Sam Rose invites you to a sensual and seductive one to one performance that offers a series of whispers, gentle caresses, and sumptuous flavours. Combining autobiography with universal themes of memory, loss and the passing of time, Melting Point is a performance about remembrance, the transient nature of experience, and the moment.

Enjoy it whilst you can, because before you know it, it will be over.
