The floors are cold. The noir has your shoes #lincolnnoir
It has been discussed for years that a performance does not need to take place in a theatre. it can take place anywhere, from a shop, to a warehouse, to an office, as long as there is someone doing something a performance is taking place. Now with technology become literally part of us, i am referring to mechanical limbs, joints and even glasses, is the human necessary for a performance to take place.
We tried to find out. Using just our phones, twitter and the streets of Lincoln we tried to produce a performance on line on a twitter feed. The premise was to roam the streets creating scenarios and characters from the things we encountered for someone, in this case Dan Hunt, to watch live on a twitter feed wherever they may be in the world.
With the use of our pictures and our tweets we collated a collage of aspects but not necessarily a cohesive plot. Not that a performance needs a plot but if the agenda was more widespread and understood i believe this could have been a huge success as oppose to an insightful exercise.
with this being said it really interested me how much of a performance you can get out of everyday things. I suppose this is what Andy Warhol and alike were trying to discover. This has definitely inspired me for my own work although i now live in fear of The Noir.
