Keir Cooper is an artist working in live performance and music.
He writes and plays with jazz punk trio A SWEET NICHE, now constructing a new album of collaborations: EJECT. This is an ongoing project with composer and saxophonist Oliver Sellwood with whom Keir has a writing partnership of over 17 years. Also an award-winning theatre maker and performer, his premier theatre work: a turbulent remix of DON QUIJOTE made in collaboration with Emma Frankland was part of the British Council Showcase for Drama & Dance 2013, touring to Festival del Tempo in Rio, Brazil. Current projects include: a new poledance/guitar performance collaboration BADASS GRAMMAR with writer/dancer Rose Biggin; working on REPUBLICA, a new strip punk flamenco piece looking at Spain’s political history in the 1930s; touring on drums and guitar with rock band YOSSARIAN; and writing a new series: BODIES that investigates guitar with various live dance/performance collaborators and disciplines. As well as known art names, Keir’s design history includes authorship and design of a bespoke book on creativity in schools, poster design for various artists and art direction and performative content for the mobile performance venue THE CAMPSITE. Ever more, visual design is integrated into performance work. |
