Victoria Melody
Victoria Melody is a British visual and performance artist and theatre-maker. Inspired by ethnography, she immerses herself in different communities and 'becomes an active participant in their rituals as research for her work.'〔('About Victoria Melody', http://www.victoriamelody.co.uk )〕 The worlds she has explored so far include pigeon fancying, Northern Soul dancing, beauty pageants and dog shows. Writing in The Oxford Mail in June 2013, Katherine McAlister described Melody as 'as a real-life Louis Theroux who gets her hands dirty....Earlier this year you could find Victoria spray-tanned and manicured in her attempt to become Mrs Glamour UK, as well as waking at 5am to begin her dog Major Tom’s arduous training schedule in their bid to win Crufts, all of which culminates in her...show Major Tom.'〔(Katherine MacAlister, 'Major Project', The Oxford Mail ) 20 June 2013〕
Melody has presented her work nationally and internationally at venues including Soho Theatre, Oxford Playhouse, The Lowry, Bristol Old Vic, Battersea Arts Centre, Summerhall (Edinburgh Festival Fringe), Push Festival (Canada), Aarhus Festival (Denmark), Bucharest International Theatre Festival (Romania), All For One Theatre Festival, New York, and Virginia Arts Festival (USA), and Brisbane Festival (Australia).
==Early Exhibitions==
Melody has a BA degree in Fine Art from the University of Northumbria in Newcastle and a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art.〔'Ventilation', Millais Gallery catalogue, Southampton Solent University, 2005〕 She first exhibited her work in Southampton, in two solo shows in which she combined film with live performance: (''All Fur Coat and No Knickers'' ) (a space, 2004) and ''Ventilation'' (Millais Gallery, 2005). The Millais Gallery catalogue described the theme of her work as 'the ways in which negative emotions are displayed and vented in contemporary society.'〔'Ventilation', Millais Gallery, Southampton Solent University, 2005〕 In the shows, she filmed herself and members of the public venting their angers and frustrations in their own individual ways. Melody also created a series of alter-egos to express different emotions. As ('Pissed-Off Pumpkin' ), she dressed as a pumpkin who abused the audience/viewer through a shiny megaphone. ('Bemused Bear' ), with Melody dressed in a bear costume, was an expression of gloom and loneliness. For her most exasperated character,('Bastard Bee' ), she dressed as a childlike representation of a bee, wielding a chainsaw which she used to attack a wooden chair. Melody also took her alter-egos out into the real world. In 2004, Bastard Bee 'occupied a cubicle in ‘The Blue X’ a lap dance club in the centre of Leicester where he gave free one-to one-lap dances with a difference to a mainly male unsuspecting audience.'〔
