Being Oneself as Another. Part 2: The Pub (2015) It's Pub Quiz Thursday. Twelve spectators will participate and become someone else for the night. Being Oneself as Another looks at personal stories and group culture; how much of our behaviour and thoughts are our own, and how much are influenced by society and suggestion? Come join us for a drink! We promise it will be a surreal, boisterous evening full of quirky anecdotes and a few pints. Or perhaps more then a few. The Chequered Game of Life (2015) This world is yours - with it's varied fortune and indefinite order. Sift through a series of discreditable incidents and you can win. Work together or work alone but be sure about the choices you make. 11 Common Place (2014) 11 Common Place explores how the audience’s identity interacts with the narrative in the space. One glance in someone’s living room prompts an image of the lives and stories that live in that space. We project stereotypes and past experiences on others and imagine their lives in comparison to ours. How many possible scenarios can lie hidden within a space? This interactive installation explores the infinite amount of possible narratives projected onto domestic spaces and provokes the audience to think about the theatricality of everyday life. It will raise questions about who we are, who others are, and how much of our identity is projected onto the objects and relations in any given space. |
Alice Rewritten (2013) Alice Rewritten is a participatory performance event, in which the audience is offered the chance to enter a world that has been created for them. A world where their identity will be tampered with, their memories falsified, and their histories rewritten. Alice Rewritten take small groups through an experience which questions the ability of the institution to destroy memory and identity and the role this has in forming the future. It is about going forwards and going backwards. What would you do if someone was trying to rewrite your memory? To tell you it wasn’t true and it never happened or existed? Could you argue with them? Do you have any proof? "Every record had been destroyed or falsified, every book had been re-written, every picture had been re-printed, every statue and street and building had been re-named, every date had been altered. And that process continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the Party is always right. I know, of course, that the facts are falsified, but would it even be possible for me to prove it, even when I did the falsification myself? After the deed is done, no evidence ever remains. The only evidence is inside my own mind, and I don’t know with any certainty that any other human being shares my memories" (Orwell, 1984. p 162). Alice Rewritten has been shown twice at Trispace Gallery. |
Prohibition Party (2013) Shhhhh… find the door, say the word, and leave your troubles behind! Our first Prohibition Party was shown at Battersea Mess and Music Hall where audience members came dressed the part and we gave them their role for the evening. During this piece the audience watches a plot unfold in front of them as they discover they are an integral part of that plot. There is plenty of action up for grabs as we transported them back to world of liquor and jazz. |

Finding Alice (2011) Who is Alice? Is it the women in the kitchen or the girl in the white dress? Are you are Alice? This immersive and participatory installation is experienced by one person at a time and is designed to stimulate and guide through the senses. It is about both bombarding and inhibiting. It becomes about fear, excitement, anxiety, and nostalgia. It is about willingness to explore darkness, to create moments of exchange, and to become a character within the installation. Finding Alice is about allowing the sensations and language designed help you find past, present, and future. Finding Alice has been shown at Trinity Laban and the Brick Box. |
