Prior to starting my PhD, I was working as a curator in contemporary visual arts at Attenborough Arts Centre in Leicester. I spent 5 years in that role where I was responsible for planning exhibitions, commissioning artwork, and supporting artist development.
Wrestling Resurgence have run sell out live wrestling events in arts galleries such as Nottingham Contemporary, Attenborough Arts Centre in Leicester, and even Loughborough University’s Martin Hall Theatre. The last show we staged was attended by over 250 people. Our shows normally feature 6-7 wrestling matches and include professional men and women wrestlers from across the UK. Our shows are family friendly and packed full of physical comedy, spectacular stunts, technical skill, and breath-taking action. It is a bit like a cross between a comedy show, variety theatre, and a rock gig, but starring comic book superheroes.
