Systems
A studio performance exploring connections, isolation and structures that don’t support the people they are designed for.
In a series of performance workshops at the Coombe Hospital, Maud and Bernie invited participants to join their practice and take on the role of maker, performer and audience member to explore the theme Systems.
Everyday conflicting, comforting and destructive systems were performatively explored and an exciting live one-off performance was shared to an invited audience.
The Open Theatre Practice system worked. Open Theatre Practice is now live.
