Love And Not Knowing
2021 - 2024
Love and Not Knowing celebrates more than twenty-five years of the work of Fevered Sleep
A book on Fevered Sleep published by Performance Research Books as part of their Inside Performance Practice series.
An experiment in co-created writing, the six chapters of the book bring together a range of different voices from people with differing relationships to and perspectives on the company and our processes: artists, academics, collaborators, producers, participants and audience members.
Through collaborative, playful, participatory processes of writing, they draw upon distinct memories, moments and projects to explore core themes that have continued to run through our work over time: On Place, On Young People and Children, On Animals, On Care, On Being Together and On Love and Not Knowing.
This book offers a remarkable insight into what Fevered Sleep does and how they do it, from a range of participants and partners. It’s a window into the company’s work and a series of reflections on their processes of making – thoughtful, perceptive and original.

Fevered Sleep’s creations have always asked what we choose to notice and why – inviting us to pay attention differently and to different things. This book continues the company’s work – surprising us in how it asks, how it observes and what it brings to light.
