About Me

Thomas John Bacon: United Kingdom; Thomas John Bacon is an artist whose work focuses upon the conception of the body, Being & the idea of a multiplicit Self in performance. Beginning in experimental theatre it can now be located within the framework of sub-cultural & philosophical investigations that are characterised through their use of live art/body art, & a manipulation of Butoh methodologies in performance practice. Thomas has performed at an extensive range of festivals & venues within the UK and internationally. He has a Masters from Goldsmiths College, University of London in Performance and currently lectures on a variety of performing arts courses. In 2009 Thomas began his research towards a doctorate with Bristol University. He is also an associate artist of Leibniz.
