Background
Horses for Courses was the result of Peepolykus’ love of Chekov. It stayed in the company’s repertoire for two years touring throughout the UK and Ireland and marked the end of a body of work that explored issues associated with the throwing of assorted food products at John. Peepolykus send a big shout out to the Arts Council for enabling Peepolykus to explore this material and for their ongoing support in the company’s quest to perform telematic and remote connection work whilst developing vision around new projects involving the live body, data and space to stimulate further discussion on tele-presence and inter-authorship in creative practice.
