Bryony Kimmings is a performance artist based in the East of England. She creates full-length theatre shows, cabaret works, homemade music, sound installations and documentary films. Her work is larger than life, outrageous, visually loud, often dangerous, somewhat unpredictable but above all fun. She is inspired by the taboos and anomalies of British culture and her autobiographical themes promote the airing of her own dirty laundry to oil conversations on seemingly difficult subjects. Her work follows real life social experiments that she embarks upon with genuine genius intrigue and wholehearted, fearless gusto. Bryonyâs work has been seen in galleries and theatres across the world, most recently at Frieze Art Fair, Soho Theatre, Antifest (Finland), Culturgest (Portugal), Fusebox Festival (Texas), the Southbank Centre, Brighton Festival, Duckie, the Roundhouse, the Barbican, Wales Millennium Centre, Latitude, the Secret Garden Party and Assembly. Her 2010 work Sex Idiot won the Total Theatre Award and her 2011 show 7 Day Drunk was awarded a Arches Brick Award nomination and Time Out Criticsâ Choice award.
