SUMMARY:Tracking (Post-show Discussion)
DESCRIPTION:Open to all – Ticketed \nBook tickets for the post-show discussion! \nThis project has something to do with connections; personal connections\, virtual connections\, electrical connections\, meaningful connections and arbitrary connections. It has something to do with that craving for a real experience\, a live experience\, that departs from the endless stream of virtual meetings where you are there but not really there; part-listening and part-doing something else. \nIt’s about how we escape from the bubble\, about being distracted and being interrupted\, about trying to listen and trying to respond. It’s about dancing\, going on holiday\, playing a game of tennis\, losing your balance and shire horses. There’s something about watching and re-watching\, doing and re-doing\, about programming and sampling\, about finding ourselves in another frame. It’s about what happens when we just do something together – across the waves\, to the beach\, in the sun. To be here and there. To know that someone’s watching. To know that we are watching. To know that we are with you. \nDevised and performed by students from BA Drama & Contemporary Performance programme\, Tracking will be presented and live streamed three times during the End of Year Show to see how the score produces variations. \nSee below for performance times: \n13th July 2 – 3pm \n15th July 2 – 3PM \n17th July 2 – 3PM \n‘Tracking’ is part of our event strand ‘Showcasing Innovation’
