Elsewhere the play, performed by you
|
Elsewhere the play, performed by you is an original piece of autotheatre developed in residency at Elsewhere. Two participants are invited to perform at a time. Each participant receives an iPod and a vest from Elsewhere’s collection. When they hit play (simultaneously) they hear prompts to move through the space, have a dialogue, perform actions, and to listen. They are the only performers of Elsewhere the play, and also the only audience members.
  A: Do you know what Andy Warhol said? B: Art is whatever you can get away with. Elsewhere the play engages participants by playfully prompting them to perform bits of Elsewhere’s history and to have a conversation about the theories that inform Elsewhere’s organizational structure. It aims for a praxis point between an objective, fact-based history, and a subjective, personal experience of the museum. Very special thanks to Nikolas Perez, Graham Holt, Aislinn Pentecost-Farren, Walker Tufts, Brennan Broome, Jen Martin, George Scheer, Stephanie Sherman, and all Elsewherians. |
