New Opera Hero, a dance, opera and artistic collective, have just completed a four week residency at Shunt, a theatre group and performance space based in the tunnels underneath London Bridge Station.
New Opera Hero are led by Steff Ungerer and Michael Wilson, a powerful creative duo who have worked on the National Opera in London, Tokyo and Hamburg, as well as working on live shows for big names such as Pet Shop Boys, Asian Dub Foundation and most famously, Lady Gaga, for whom they created 3D elements for her live tour.

Meet Hello Mother F*&king Nasty, an illustrator who’s making a new name for himself with his unique employment of all things creative. When trying to dig deeper, in search of some report-style info, Hello MF Nasty was cryptic in his answers, leaving me with more questions than I intended to ask. It’s refreshing not to be verbally abused with philosophical arty explanations that always leave me with too much to write about, yet nothing real to share.

WARNING- THIS POST FEATURES NUDITY!
23 year-old artist Ariel Brickman lives the kind of existence that out-of-towners describe with wide-eyed awe as a ‘New York lifestyle.’ Mainly this involves very large wigs, pasties, a lot of glitter, occasionally dressing in drag (and more frequently dressing with a bare midriff) and just downright fabulousness.
One person described Brickman to me as someone “with a very interesting train of thought,” which seems a very accurate statement, seeing as though there is evidence to back it. Her unique thought processes have led the Bushwick-based artist to create live installations featuring herself engaging with innovative concepts by way of colorful costumes and sets. Think a bath full of milk, or many tiny disco balls, and always boobs (a whole lot of ‘em).
