Performance: Dormitory
Please feel free to bring your own blanket and pillow. Doors to the dormitory will close at 5:15pm.
Saturday, May 17th, 5:00pm – 6:15pm in Pao Hall Dance Theatre Studio
Dormitory is a synchronized two-site event. First site is the space of narrative collection, a room where an audience comes together to create a sleep program simultaneously broadcast to the second site- a dormitory installation- to put the second part of the audience to sleep. The sleep program runs around an hour.
The ear is the organ of fear (Nietzsche) and the theatre of audition created on site one will became a medium of critical regression, bringing a slumbering audience into a child-like state where imagination becomes catalyst of possibility (read- the extraordinary) and images embed themselves to do the work of politics.
The dormitory has a limited supply of bedding and viewers are encouraged to bring their own pillows and blankets or be open to sharing. Once the program starts broadcasting the dormitory will close and those who wish to participate may join the narrating site.
