MARCUS COATES:

About

Performance artist Marcus Coates will conduct a series of rituals for Wallspace, in the historic church of All Hallows on the Wall in the City of London. His 'shamanistic' journeys are solely for the benefit of the audience, to answer questions asked by individuals present. He will be assisted by a live choir mimicking a range of animal calls and bird songs, to seek contact and information from animal and bird spirits. Marcus Coates questions how we perceive human-ness through imagined non-human realities. An extensive knowledge and understanding of British wildlife has led him to create unique interpretations of the natural world and its evolving relationship with society.
