                2000: 'British Bulldog': Game and installation at stuffgallery
                2006: 'Church Ale Festival at Rishangles Church, Suffolk, curated by Laura Godfrey Isaacs of home live art, with Norfolk Living History Regiment. ACE commission
                2007: 'Coastal Currents Festival', Hastings high street, curated by Richard Kingdom. ACE commission

                'British Bulldog' was an installation and performance based on the now-banned playground game in which two sides barged each other until one broke through to the opponents' base. For this performance Stephanie Douet collected a large quantity of Utility-style furniture, electrical equipment, ornaments and objects and arranged them into assemblages tied with black rubber straps and mounted on wheels. Various games were played including Siege, Single Combat and Classic Bulldog, with the crashed remains left as installations.
