Two way conversation

2.53pm

I have this dream of making a piece of theatre without a technician and people come in and the florescent lights are on and the tabs are open like this. And over the course of the performance we create a piece of theatre. The final image is the starting image. They are points of arrival and departure. The flightpath. It's not like its an open rehearsal though. I think we have to be really careful about that. It's not like seeing a show being made. But it is about exposing the mechanics of it. A plane flies overhead. It was that moment that made me realise that we were making it up as we go along. Tim remembers performing A House on a Hill and how a member of the audience was talking. He picks up a card and reads it aloud 'This is NOT a two way conversation.' The man stops talking.
