A Catalogue of Errors by Chris Wainwright
Chris Wainwright has been working with semaphore as a semi-obsolete signalling system for a number of years and incorporating it into a series of photographic performances and actions. These works are made at night and sited adjacent to places where there have been natural disasters or at environmentally fragile sites caused by human intervention and exploitation. Much of the work in the exhibition has been made in the Tohoku Region of Japan prior to and after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.

Energy Security in the Middle East and North Africa
The security of energy supply remains the most important objective of current energy policy in the UK, Japan and for countries across the globe. For this reason, nations often work to reduce their reliance on energy imports. Any disruption of energy supplies as a result of political turmoil and/or terrorism in oil- or gas-producing nations can have serious economic, political and security implications for many countries.

Butoh Through the Lens
This film screening and talk, introducing short films about Butoh dance, will be presented by Florencia Guerberof, performer and founder of Asian Performing Arts UK. Firstly, she will show her own film recordings ‘Impressions’ featuring Yoshito Ono and ‘Duration’ which reflect her own impressions during her research on Butoh dance in Japan during 2009. The screening will continue with the documentary ‘Still Move’ by Marieke Schroeder. The film portrays Japanese dancer and choreographer Saburo Teshigawara who creates a fusion of Butoh principles and postmodern elements. The event aims at portraying a different side of Butoh dance.
