EPISODE 4: ROLAND CARLINE WITH COLLABORATORS
4 Live Works
Roland Carline has been working in social work and applied arts in community settings since 1998. His commission with Goldsmiths CCA was the result of a long-term engagement, and saw Carline present four live works that manifested across the span of the exhibition, featuring his signature props, costumes and ‘loose parts’. The works moved through the registers of humour and absurdity, celebrated collusion, and forged an embodied mode of spectatorship that sat with ambiguity and discomfort. For Carline the performers are at the heart of the process, so that the work itself can fall apart and reconstitute in new and unforeseen ways. Carline’s approach is to retreat into the work, allowing collaborators to take the lead – disrupting prevailing ideas of hierarchy within the artists’ practice.

Ambient Jam Collective
Landscapes shift, wordless stories unfold, creative choices are made, and sometimes people move through journeys in themselves and with others.
Meet Me at the Albany & The Rachel Macmillan Nursery
Meet Me at the Albany is an all day arts club for the over 60s quite unlike anything that has come before. Based at South East London’s Albany arts centre, an all year programme of events creates opportunities for people to meet new friends and try out a whole range of new activities and experiences. Meet Me at the Albany takes place every Tuesday and is co-produced by Entelechy Arts and the Albany. The Rachel Macmillan Nursery opened in 1914 in the heart of Deptford community. They are thought to be the first ‘Open Air’ Nursery School in England.
Deptford Freestylers
A newly established group set up by Rachel Gildea, Francis Majekodunmi and Roland Carline who meet weekly at Deptford X. Deptford Freestylers aim to create a space for any age, any body and any style to share music, look for new ways to engage with performance and learn from each other.
Rachel Gildea is an independent dance artist doing socially engaged work in diverse communities. She is a Co-Director of BLINK Dance Theatre. She has a BA in Dance and Culture (Surrey University) and an MA in Applied Theatre (Goldsmiths University).
This project is in collaboration with Entelechy Arts and Deptford X.

Episodes is an ongoing series of solo presentations that cuts through the main programming at Goldsmiths CCA and provides a counterpoint to the larger-scale exhibitions. Spanning installations, screenings, discursive events and new commissions, the focus of this programme is to provide an experimental platform for emergent practices. The series kicked-off with Oisín Byrne’s GLUE (14 Dec 2018–3 Feb 2019), and continued in 2019 with presentations by Adam Christensen (27 April – 27 May 2019), Corey Hayman (17 July – 11 Aug 2019) and Roland Carline (16 Nov 2019 – 12 Jan 2020). Episodes is supported by the Oak Foundation.
