Dedicated
DATE: 1995-96
FORMAT: Performance

Three performers accompanied by a dj (James Molloy) and a digital photographer (Amanda Harman) pretend to be members of an underground political organisation and throughout the show they prepare 'communiques' to be sent to prominent public figures. When not preparing communiques they rehearse scenes from a still-to-be-made film about a red-headed working class heroine, Vera. First shown at the Showroom Gallery London in March 1995, Dedicated went on to tour extensively in the UK and abroad. Dedicated featured the performer, K. Michael Weaver.
