A performance artist for the past 20 years, Adrian Howell's unique style and abilities have consistently borne fruit through his collaborations with an eclectic mix of venues and practitioners from the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow to Nigel Charnock and the late Leigh Bowery. Capitalising on an ever-growing reputation as a solo artist -primarily in the guise of his transvestite alter ego Adrienne - Howells is now breaking new boundaries in academic circles and has recently been awarded a prestigious Creative and Performing Arts Fellowship at Glasgow University.

Synopsis: | I doubt if anyone who entered into The 14 Stations of the Life and History of Adrian Howells will ever forget the intensity, the potentially unnerving honesty and intimacy, of this close encounter with Howells's personal litany of pain and suffering. His use of the devotional meditation, Christ's 14 Stations of the Cross, as a template for this one-to-one promenade through the lower reaches of the Arches might offend some people - but, in truth, the core strand of this journey is offence, given and taken. As a gay man with transvestite inclinations Howells has, from boyhood, been on the receiving end of bullying, abuse and humiliation. Now, in his forties -and in this series of installations and interactions - Howells has a second "coming out". He frankly acknowledges the pain, embarrassment and emotional cruelty he has also inflicted on others. Each ticket holder becomes a witness or indeed a partner in the admission of guilty secrets, the ritual of confession. What keeps this from being self-indulgent, however, is Howells's ability to make this two-way sharing open-ended - to use his past behaviour, his memories and anecdotes, his current facing up to things he now regrets, as an invitation for us to examine our own conscience. | |||||

Synopsis: | Directed into a suitably monastic cubby hole, you are greeted by Adrian, who proceeds to wash and massage your feet. There is something about the intent and the meditative way that this is set up with its cultural and religous referenccs that makes it much more than its parIs. The exchange that takes place: is transformative, not just a transaction. | |||||
