Jo
Pearson is a multidisciplinary artist whose previous film
and web work has been funded by the Arts Council,
Channel 4 and the BBC. Her work has been shown on British television as well as
in dozens of festivals worldwide
She
studied at Leeds University, Central St Martins, Birkbeck College, Duncan of Jordanstone
College of Art and more recently Manchester Metropolitan University
In
her unique performance and sound work she explores,
through various online and 'live' personae, often from an absurd perspective and
with acerbic wit, wide-ranging themes from life in general to life in detail.
And even the environment, sometimes. She willingly treads a very fine line between
art, pop, poetry, musical, music hall, cabaret and karaoke, regularly defying
classification
