Corpo Volta began as an invitation from Sophie Orton and her sisters – collectively known as Ortonandon. The group invited local artists friends to perform a 5 minute intervention with an audience in a secret location in Edinburgh in December 2014. The audience were instructed to dress warm and bring a cushion to sit on. I AM DADA, the Orton's mother, also an artist, compered the evening spinning the crowd around the vaults to take part in the next incident. The first Corpo Volta happening took place up a close, in the dimly lit Niddry Street Vaults with over 20 short acts performing songs, skits, movement based routines, improvised poems and other occurrences from fortune telling to fish slapping.
Alongside the sisters, 3 Glasgow based artists have been involved in bringing the event to their home city. The organising group are now planning future get togethers and hope to bring Corpo Volta to life again in the near future.

GSA MFA Auction 2014- Kathryn Entertains

MONUMENTAL. MFA, Glasgow School of Art. Term 1.

Here is a long overdue update on my practice activity.
Since taking my place on the MFA at Glasgow School of Art it has been a necessity to retreat and rework things. The course is intense and rigorous and is encouraging changes and shifts within my own work. This is a natural result of having 17 new peers with whom I practice alongside daily. Our studio is a hive of activity and we are all very dedicated. The combination of lecturers input is also having a positive effect on the way Ive been doing things. Access to an Art library is gold dust and is also helping me develop my approach.
Glasgow City is buzzing with artistic activity. There are many openings, discussions and events on throughout the week. Its becoming a full time practice in itself, but its so valuable to have all this on my doorstep.
I am working on a two new pieces, and am encouraging a strong sense of community by holding a weekly breakfast meeting. For me this kind of discussion group is at the heart of my studio practice. Over the past five years in Cardiff, UK, I have hosted similar things, but I intend to make it a more concrete aspect of my studio career.
I feel blessed to be studying alongside such dynamic artists from all corners of the globe who are all very committed to their practices.
GSA for life.
