Reviewing In-between Time

2006, Performance, Bristol, UK

Reviewing In Between Time was a short performance written over five days during the In Between Time Festival (IBT) at Arnolfini Gallery, Bristol, and performed for the closing event of the festival.

Extract from script:  We’re interested in you, IBT’s audience. From the start, we’ll be amongst you, watching and listening. In the privacy of our hotel room, we’ll write, re-write and pull it all together. At the end, we’ll stand up in front of you and deliver our review.

Continuing our exploration of active audiences, this work subjected the audience to close scrutiny. In a reversal of customary reviews, we examined, evaluated and critiqued audiences, not artworks.
