Harry
Taylor
Taylor's practice examines appetite, spectatorship and the social choreography of the table. His work is temporary by design and completed by those present.
A work in four acts
Memento
Mori
An exercise in appetite, transience
and whatever follows.

James
Pendergrast
Working across hospitality, ritual and performance, Pendergrast considers the systems through which an ordinary gathering becomes an event—and an event becomes a memory.
Prologue
A private presentation concerning beginnings, endings, and the brief interval in which we attempt to give them meaning.
One evening. Four acts. No documentation.
Birth
The first mark. A beginning mistaken for innocence.
Life
Matter in motion. Appetite as evidence.
Death
Every form contains the terms of its ending.
Afterlife
What remains refuses explanation.
On evaluation
Meal, theme and performance are not separate criteria but a closed system: the meal performs the theme, the theme authors the performance, and the performance is consumed as the meal.
Nothing here is supplementary.
