Hunt & Darton

About me:

Eight years after meeting at Central Saint Martins and based on the friendship we have had since, Holly and Jenny have been collaborating for two years, approaching performance from a Fine Art background. We have created several performances together including ‘Love is Like the Airport/The Airport is Like Love’ and ‘Desperately Seeking Anything’ and are now starting to build up a kind of jukebox methodology, picking and choosing elements of the ideas explored in our practice and piecing them together in a range of combinations. ‘Everybody Moving On’ is the culmination of all the efforts made in a series of smaller performances and current ideas. This approach means the performance is rarely the same keeping the work fresh and exciting. Holly Darton & Jenny Hunt studied Fine Art together and have been collaborating for the past 2 years. They have performed at various Live Art festivals and events such as Arnolfini’s ‘I’m Still Your Worst Nightmare’, Colchester Arts Centre Live Art Platform and Tasty Festival. Holly performed at Edinburgh Fringe, as Ben & Holly and more recently has creatively produced a three day Live Art Festival in Hertford. She has also been awarded Escalator Artist for the forthcoming year. Jenny recently participated in Rules & Regs at Colchester Arts Centre and has previously performed at, PLAY Interdisciplinary Art Festival, OMSK, Expo, Sensitive Skin, Tate Modern and 291 Gallery.
