PATTERNS
From the tangible to the obscure, Patterns is created with community participants in an arts and health context.
“In the direction, in the spoken, in the moving, in the broken, in the institution, in the mating, in the mind, patterns.”
This one off performance embraces both the individual perspective and the collective, celebrating the chaos of existence.
The performance was followed by an informal Q & A with co-creators and the audience.
As part of the performance weekend, a workshop seminar was held with guest speaker Laura Hopes, a visual artist whose practice focuses on the sublime and the anthropocene, Maud Hendricks and Bernie O’Reilly of Outlandish Theatre explore the concept of Theatre of Ruins and the low sublime within the context of their practice as the Theatre of the Everyday.
