Aste Amundsen
 |
Aste is a performance artist, novelty-act aerialist and theatre maker. She has been creating experimental performance events and acts since 1998. A common thread within a lot of her work is use of unusual audience relationships. Over the years she has created a series of shows based around games , the most recent and complex of these being The Apocalypse Gameshow written and produced in collaboration with Tom Baker.
Stunts to date include staging Genet's The Balcony in an art deco wardrobe, co-founding Glastonbury’s notorious underground piano-bar, and hanging upside down on a rope singing Jacques Brel songs and playing the accordion. As one half of the Amundsen & Slade Sonic Sideshow she performs on chainsaw and human xylophone and is responsible for the design of the # 3 retro-futuristic incarnation of the Soulsuit wearable tech costumes. |
