Works for Live Art Danmark
2011 “Expectations” at Samtalekøkken
2014 DIVA residency, Stand Up performances

Expectations
We’re going to start with some assumptions,
because that’s where we always start.
However, we will try to get further,
even if all we end up with is lies and nonsense.
At Samtalekøkkenet in November 2011, Siân presented “Expectations”. Dressed as a clown, she asked the audience about their expectations of “performance art” in general, and her performance in particular, and then proceeded to try to fulfill them.

The performance was reviewed in the renowned Danish newspaper Politiken by Henrik Vesterberg. The review “Free salon offers soup and wood snail porn” can be found here. 

Stand Up Performances
In September and October 2014, Siân stayed in Copenhagen with a DIVA residency we facilitated. During this time she experimented with integrating elements of stand-up comedy into her performances. Some samples can be seen in the video below.
