FK Alexander and I met in 2018 to discuss her recent show VIOLENCE and (I Could Go on Singing) Over the Rainbow, a 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe breakout hit. FK is a Glasgow-based live artist whose shows are often durational, ritualistic, and experiential for audiences, foregrounding violent actions and noise but rooted in tender intimacy. Confronting big and often difficult feelings, not least loneliness, their effects are destructive but also restorative. They are consistently fascinated with pop cultural fantasy figures, such as ‘girl next door’ Judy Garland, and Queen of Hearts, Princess Diana. We discuss FK’s devising practices, motivations, and obsessions, and how order and sobriety in day-to-day life allow her to dig deep into violence in performance.

In this episode, the staff welcome the inimitable FK Alexander to the pool table!FK is a Glasgow based performance artist who has performed internationally to great acclaim and it was enlightening to sit and discuss her experiences with art, music and performance.For more information on FK Alexander's work, please check the link below:http://thesickofthefringe.com/about-fk
