Bite Size Theatre Explodes Into Wellington
by Te Rina Thompson - September 09, 2009
bite size theatre is dedicated to performances in it's possibly shortest form. Every show comprises six short pieces created by six different artistic teams ? all to one topic. The aim is to explore this theme to a broad extent from six different perspectives and with six different artistic means. The topic for the first bite size theatre show in September is EXPLOSION. It will feature a mix of three theatre pieces, one dance work, one performance art piece and a video installation. We are inviting the audience into a space similar to a gallery - they walk around in a promenade theatre installation from 'picture' to 'picture', from performance to performance. All bites stand for themselves and at the same time relate to one topic and therefore also to each other. The audience can draw their own connections, disconnections and associations towards EXPLOSION. The artists for bite size theatre : EXPLOSION are Ashley DeMoville (Mark Ravenhill: War of the Worlds) Astrid Gleichmann (6-channel video installation) Binge Culture (Devised theatre) CSharp Musicals (Devised musical theatre) Jana Castillo (Contemporary Dance Improvisation) Sascha Perfect / Chris Ulutupu (Performance Art) We are very grateful for the tremendous support of Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School and Victoria University.
