Ms Clare Qualmann
Senior Lecturer
Performing Arts
Clare Qualmann is an artist/researcher with an interdisciplinary performance oriented practice. From a background in the visual arts her work engages a range of participatory methods, and a range of media to explore and reveal the overlooked - the politics and potentials of everyday life. From 2012 - 2015 Clare led an AHRC funded project to develop the Walking Artists Network, an international online directory and noticeboard for the use of walking in creative practice, alongside a series of walking research group meetings. She continues to facilitate the network, alongside her own projects that use walking as process, method and outcome for instigating and investigating exchanges between people and places. Recent commissions include walkwalkwalk: stories from the Bethnal Green archive (2010) a permanent installation of architectural text-works in Bethnal Green Old Town Hall, Perambulator, (2014) a participatory performance/walking project (with prams) for Deveron Arts in Huntly (Aberdeenshire) and East End Jam (2015/16) a collaborative walking, foraging and jam making project commissioned by the London Legacy Development Corporation.
