We are a divided nation. We do not understand the others perspective. We are two different countries living in the same place never meeting. Tea is really important to me as it is a time of slowing down and contemplating. Shared with others it can create a dialog.
I looked to meet 6 people who voted Brexit and have a cup of tea with them. From this I created a performance piece called not my cup of tea and this led on to creating the performance piece Metanoia
Below are the cups from the 6 dialogs:
- Cup of tea 1, Yorkshire Tea in an x-Starbuck’s mug
- Cup of tea 2 – Black Earl Grey in a Coronation Mug
- Cup of Tea 3 – PG Tips with milk and sugar
- Cup of tea 4, – Hot Chocolate in a dachshund mug
- Cup of tea 5 – Milk and sugar in a Goldthorpe Parish Church mug
- Cup of tea 6 – Coffee in Costa on the Cowley Road
