In Melting Point, Sam Rose invites you to a sensual and seductive one to one performance that offers a series of whispers, gentle caresses, and sumptuous flavours.
Combining autobiography with themes of memory, loss, and the passing of time, Melting Point is an intimate performance about remembrance, the transient nature of experience, and the moment.
Enjoy it whilst you can, because before you know it, it will be over.

Melting Point is supported by Method lab at Green Room.

Melting Point: A shared encounter, a shared exchange, a shared account

To accompany her performance at The National Review of Live Art 2010, Sam will also deliver Melting Point: A shared encounter, a shared exchange, a shared account — a collaborative performance lecture between Sam Rose and Annette Foster that attempts to communicate and document a shared account of the experience of Melting Point from the point of view of both performer and audience members.
Re-create, Re-member, Re-collect.
Melting Point: A shared encounter, a shared exchange, a shared account is part of ongoing research that explores new strategies for the documentation and archiving of one to one performance.
Textual documentation, performative actions, and visual materials for performance lecture were created in collaboration with Annette Foster.

A Bed of Roses

In A Bed Of Roses, Sam invites you under the covers for a sensual and seductive one to one performance that takes place in a four- poster bed.

Continuing a body of works concerned with intimacy and the senses, Sam explores the boundaries between performer and audience, creating an encounter that encourages closeness. Examining the relationship between the public and private self, this new work explores moments of tenderness, discomfort, exposure and revelation.

A Bed of Roses is a lament on lost romance.
A remembrance of lasting loves and brief encounters
