fiasco-dalston
About this original series
Fiasco.tv was created in february 2002. Dissatisfied with DJ nights and anonymous clubs, we decided to put on multi-art performance events. Poetry, live bands and musicians, contemporary dance all housed in a space filled with visual art by local artists, video in Studio 2 at the Arcola Theatre, deepest darkest Dalston. We had ambitions to turn it into a TV programme, funding didn't materialise, so despite much fun and sweat fiasco was no more. These video clips and memories are what remain. EnJoY!

Choreographer Isolte Avila is a pioneer of this form, having trained at the California Institute of Arts BFA and with the Cuban Ballet. Film-maker and actor David Bower has produced documentaries for Channel 4 and the BBC and you may...

Jeremy Quinn at fiasco.tv November 02
Jeremy Quinn's distinctive style of poetry is full of surrealism and black humour, with a gentle delivery that lulls you into a false sense of security before revealing its bestial edge. He also organises the nomadic open mic poetry night Walking The Dog which pitches camp at various pubs around London every month or so.

Meon's interview from fiasco.tv February 03
Meon - From the creative sanctuary of his recording studio in Stoke Newington (which also functions as a dance club, a gig venue and a home for three people) Marc Shearer has dreamed up some truly beautiful music. His childlike melodies are lifted by shimmering open-tuned acoustic guitar chords and then intertwined with luscious laptop loops. Look out for these musical gems to be released on umrecords. Marc Shearer - vocals, guitar and samples Adem Ilhan ? double bass Cameron Miller - xylophone

Jack Hayter interview from fiasco.tv July 03

David J interview from fiasco.tv July 03
David J - Vocal Pugilist - David's career in the field of rap and poetry stretches back to 1992 when he won the Choice FM Battle Rap Competition - back then Eminem was still learning nursery rhymes. Over the years he has developed a unique style of delivery that is heavily influenced by his hip-hop origins. Sometimes his voice seems to go forwards then flip backwards like some tricky verbal gymnast, at other times he's scratching words instead of vinyl. Often it seems there is more than one pe...
