Simultaneous Event., 2014).

In collaboration with Harrison Hall, Harrison Ritchie-Jones and Luigi Vescio, he made and produced The Venusian Slip, which had successful seasons in 2018 and 2020. He is currently in development for new work with Harrison Hall, which has been sustained by residencies at Abbotsford Convent, Lucy Guerin Inc.’s Moving Forward residency program, Temperance Hall’s Exquisite Corps residency and in Andrew’s own studio. They recently showed Surprise, Surprize for Pieces 2021 Season commissioned by Lucy Guerin Inc. and The Substation.
