Ken TURNER
Ken Turner was born in India. At Christmas 1993, he put on a Performance entitled 'Doubtless' at NAG, partnering students from Dartington College of Visual Performance. It coincided with his election to the NSA, as the first performance art member of the Society. Contents of Doubtless combined the use of poetry, dance, painting, music and sculpture.
