In the build-up to SICK! Supper Club, Bobby Baker will lead a free, day-long workshop for students and artists entitled ‘Culture Cake’.

Over the course of the day, each participant will produce a brand new 3-minute solo performance drawing on participants own experiences and perceptions of illness, to be presented at Supper Club the following night.

It’s not about making a polished piece, but a fresh and spicy bite-sized nugget of performance ingenuity. It’s also a great opportunity to work with a legend of performance art, meet other performers and take part in one of the most exciting contemporary performance nights in the country.
