STAGE PERFORMANCES


Quartet (for Anna Akhmatova)

Solo performance  

Performance is not what takes place on the stage, but rather what happens in the minds of the spectators. Based on an accident that took place at La Scala opera house in Italy in 1913, Quartet is a solo performance that revolves around a simple premise: each of its four components (the movements, the objects, the music, the words) is performed in isolation, one after the other.

Quartet #2 (for Anna Akhmatova)

Solo performance  

Quartet #2 is the sequel to Augusto Corrieri’s Quartet. Unlike a sequel, the new show is identical to the previous one; the only difference is that it is executed by performer Donna Shilling, not by Augusto Corrieri.

Dance company

A choreography for 10 people  

What is it that draws us to watch other people move their bodies under the lights of a theatre?

This is a choreography of warm ups, stretches, theatre games and dance exercises; it is performed each time by a cast of 10 new people, all local to where the show is being presented. Each person learns the show alone, through a series of online instruction videos.

Early works

Short performances  

Early works is the title of a series of short performances, lasting between 5 and 13 minutes each. The pieces playfully manipulate theatre conventions in the attempt to find out what performers and spectators have in common, and what sets them apart.

PERFORMANCE-INSTALLATIONS


Photographs of a dance rehearsal

Performance installation for 5 dancers
Commissioned by Camden Arts Centre (London)
 

A group of professional dancers perform sequences of movement and actions inside a large closed room; whenever a visitor opens the door and steps inside the room, the dancers pause and remain still; they continue to remain still as long as the visitor stays in the room; when the visitor leaves, they resume dancing.

The Glass Room

Peformance installation for a shop window
Commissioned by the Winchester Cornershop and The Point
 

People walking by come across a brightly lit musical performance taking place inside an empty shop: but as soon as they stop to look inside, the lights and music go off. In semi-darkness, a performer can be seen, now calmly sat on a chair, waiting. On the back wall, the word "INTERVAL" is written in large clear letters. As soon as the spectator leaves, the show resumes.
