Global release music video for Keeley Forsyth and Matthew Bourne's album Hand to Mouth.

Jadran Resort ~ A Novel in the Landscape is a journey through an active and evolving collection of images, experiences, and moments that, while deactivating the myth of reciprocity, offers a different view of the landscape. The resort emerges from the artists' research and reflections, delving into the layered cause and effect relationships between history, landscape, and class positions, with a focus on the multiple horizons these positions project. The "novel in the landscape" adopts an experimental narrative form, intertwining theater and exhibition formats, fiction, archives, and documents into a speculative construct activated by audience participation. Referencing the immersive experience of a novel, the content is accessed by adopting the role of a specific character, aiming to dissolve the distance between the audience and the story. This approach reveals various layers of a mutating context depending on the perspective from which it is observed. In Jadran Resort, the audience enters through stories of an unborn worker of the hospitality class, a cruise ship named "Mr. Satoshi" christened by Margaret Thatcher, a corporation, and a tourist trapped in an endless introspective abyss. These stories and characters arise from the authors' research, travels, interviews, and discussions, with contributions from poet Uroš Prah, whose essay helped shape the corporate character.

The space of Jadran Resort is crafted through a kaleidoscopic interplay of images and stories associated with the Mediterranean experience, elastically tied to the context of contemporary Montenegro. On a transforming coastline and open sea, narratives overlap, intertwine, and diverge in an asymmetrical composition, highlighting our complicity and implicit positions within these processes.

Film for Keeley Forsyth and Matthew Bourne's album launch

We reflect on the impact, value, and challenges of embedding Nonviolent Communication (NVC) within teaching and learning spaces at UAL. Framed through an ecosystem approach, we show how local, course-level initiatives are part of a wider institutional shift toward more compassionate educational environments. Drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data—including NSS results and interviews with staff and students—we highlight how NVC supports collaborative learning, personal growth, and professional readiness. We also acknowledge the structural and cultural challenges to embedding this practice more widely, including uneven uptake, vulnerability, and barriers to open expression across diverse learning communities.
