1994
Room for Robots
This piece explored a situation in which the perfomers and the audience were remote from one another and in very different locations and circumstances.
The audience are seated comfortably around a spot lit phone in the centre of the room. A fourtrack sound piece is heard - phones - bits of conversations....
The performers are not there but at a party in an architects office in Cumbria. From time to time they phone up - members of the audience step into the centre of the space and answer the phone.
The performers eventually sent a fax to the theatre to let the
audience know that the event was over.
The 4-track sound score, sketched on an envelope, shows the duration and movement of various sounds around the space.
