Jessica Jordan-Wrench used her year at OSE to explore immediacy in live and installation art, both in terms of performer presence and modes of spectatorship within the audience experience. Alongside other associates she organised workshops, talks and screenings which resonated with her practice, including visits from FK Alexander, Rodent DeCay and John Smith.

She aimed to create work which employed and exploited the language of entertainment to engage and – ultimately – disarm a live audience. Karaoke, mirror balls, white noise and glitter curtains featured in performances that cross-pollinated theatre with installation, music and experimental writing.

She also grew a human, who attended OSE alongside her (both in and out of utero).
