About

Squash and Stretch Live and Performance Art Festival.

The term squash and stretch comes from the field of animation. Observation shows that only stiff objects remain inert during motion, while non-stiff objects tend to change their shape. As clay or dough our bodies are made of soft materials that are constantly squashing and stretching during day and night. When we smile our face squash, when we defecate our intestine slowly stretch out. The artists presenting in this second festival had been selected on how their work relates this principle. We hope people of Oxford enjoy this potlatch of eclectic live and performance art.
