Nwando receives The Adrian Howells Award

We are thrilled to announce that Nwando is the recipient of the 2021 Adrian Howells Award!

This year the award is co-presented by Take Me Somewhere, Something To Aim For, Battersea Arts Centre & BUZZCUT.

In a year of feeling so disconnected and unable to meet, touch and be together with people, the idea of intimate performance feels a bit of a distant concept, yet more important than ever. Therefore, this year, the award is framed around the idea of creating intimate performance remotely or online.

Adrian Howells (1962 – 2014) was one of the world’s leading figures in the field of one to one and intimate performance. Over two decades he developed an artistic practice that focused on the transformative possibilities of intimate work, achieved through a profound, immediate and personal connection to his audiences. Through these works and the care he took in every aspect of the experience, he was often able to deeply affect those who participated in these encounters.

Nwando will be hosting an immersive workshop as part of her commission alongside her longtime collaborator Wennefer, aka Jennifer Muteteli, a movement-centred deviser-director who creates performance-based live art.
