My Research Provocation.
What is specific about site? How can and why should performance enter a living or dead space and be relevant, necessary and evocative for an audience?
Research Themes.
Actual site specifics (architecture, time, place, history...)
Aesthetics vs. Necessity
What type of performance? Can Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard be staged in an actual Russian house, with an actual Cherry Orchard? What would this mean for the audience? Would it be effective?
Living vs. Dead space - using the life, the energy of the space to invest the work with immediacy - not simply framing it in an alternative / cool / alternative space in opposition to theatre buildings?!
______________
This is somewhat more formalised from this morning but is not prescriptive, again it is a case of typing as I think - thoughts and partnerships welcomed!
