REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘A tourist outing for deconstructionists.’ The Scotsman ()
‘A rare opportunity to breathe in our own experience of a place, where we can become part of a new set of memories in space and time.’ The Herald ()
‘It is unlikely that anyone could experience this beautiful event without being moved in some way.’ ABC Radio, Brisbane ()
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A site-specific promenade performance about place and memory, mixing personal and historical material. A guided tour for the post-modern age, it explores our relationship to the past and present. (60 mins, 1 on stage, 2 on the road.)
A map of the city is created on the floor with hundreds of found objects, accompanied by a rich soundtrack of sampled and archive audio material. Highly adaptable in scale. (60–80 mins, includes local performers, 2–4 on the road, depending on local production support.)
FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
A solo performance with video and slide projection for conventional theatre spaces. A travelogue and a meditation on the relationship between memory, imagination and landscape.
WRAP-AROUND
A two- to three-week process leading to a performance, during which a group of local participants are led through an exploration of their city – walking, talking, sampling sounds, gathering objects and searching in archives. Workshops on creating performance from the everyday are also available.
