Cecilia Gonzalez Barragan

Jessica Morris

Kristin Blakstad
Ingrid who quarrelled with Nokken

Originally from Mexico, Cecilia is an East London lighting designer with an

engineering background.
Unbroken lines of visible light that trace orbits in the space. Floating orbits that meddle and interact
with their surroundings. Light that appears and disappears unified with the
space and changing its
nature.
Look out for her beautiful Eclipse around the plants

Jessica is a Photographer/Illustrator from Liverpool based in Poplar. Her

photograph displayed in the
workshop of Caravanserai was part of a project aiming to help her overcome
a fear of the unknown within nature and to reconnect with it. She lit 1000
candles in the middle of a forest in the dead of night surrounding a nude
figure to represent her vulnerability and as an offering, connecting with the
surroundings as well as finding a new sense of comfort and belonging.

At this time of year there is an autumn leaves celebration in

Arendal. Ingrid cant go. She has to work and sets out on the ocean to fish
for the next weeks market. Her mind and focus is elsewhere and her
daydreaming and sloppiness awakens Nkken - the merciless King of the sea.
Kristin Blakstad tells physical stories mixing spoken word, sounds, songs,
characters and movement. She brings places, dialogues, and situations of
truth and beauty to life through a visual journey and the audiences own
playful imagination.

of sirens and birdsong in their long-rented East End front rooms: real, raw

grabbing.
