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.
