An Exercise for an audience, London


An Exercise for an audience was performed at the PaperWork Magazine launch, Inland Studios, London, on the 7th of June 2013. Footage from Sam Keogh.

Exercise is the title of my text in the Lost and Found issue of PaperWork. Once removed from the loose binding of the publication it activates as a script.
The dialogue of the script satirically details the frustrations of communication between an object, a sculptor and a critic.

Another Exercise for an audience will be hosted by PaperWork in Glasgow next month.
