ARTISTIC POLICY
Bill Aitchison has created a diverse and unmistakable body of performances over the last 15 years. Intellectually conceived, dynamically realised and distinct in their range of influences (visual art, experimental theatre, sonic art, psychology and literature), each performance proposes different formal structures and aesthetics. What these performances have in common is that they ask questions, treat audiences with respect, are ambitious, open-ended, and have a dry wit.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Political and insanely funny.’ Theater der Zeit, Berlin (2012)

‘An irresistible hour-long outdoor romp through the most wildly conceived and delusional of conspiracy theories.’ British Theatre Guide (2012)

‘Amusing, intelligent and sensual theatre.’ Frankfurter Allgemeine (24/7/52)

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
2012 A performance of conspiracy theories that dances on the borders of truth and fiction. Theatre, gallery and street versions available. (75 mins, no interval.)

24/7/52 A conceptual vaudeville that calls upon multi-tasking ad absurdum. Developed at BAC and co-produced by Plateaux Festival. (60 mins, no interval.)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
Almost Three (premiere April 2010) A wordless performance about memory and cognition that puts language centre stage.

WRAP-AROUND
Mentoring in contemporary performance making; workshops on task-based approach to performing and on site-specific performance.
